COVER STORY

Trolling for Predators

  • How to Care for Your K-9

    Features

    The excitement of working with a K-9 partner can sometimes overshadow the amount of care and upkeep these animals need. The dogs’ own enthusiasm about their jobs can also make them seem invincible. They’re willing to shrug off pain and sometimes keep working past the point of common sense because they love what they do. Of course, just like people they need to maintain overall health to excel in the field.

    Columns: Editorial

    Most of us—Thank God—will never experience anything as emotionally, physically, and spiritually shattering as Hurricane Katrina. Short of an atomic bomb detonation or a biological attack, Katrina is as bad as it gets.

  • Glock G38 and G39 Compact Pistols

    Reviews: Arsenal

    Today’s police handgun market abounds with full-sized, medium-sized, and compact .45 ACP pistols. But until recently the designers of these weapons all labored under a seemingly insurmountable constraint: size. When you build a pistol for a cartridge whose bullet approaches one-half inch in diameter and whose overall length can be as much as 1.275 inches from nose to primer, even the most sub-compact pistol in .45 ACP is going to be cursed with a generously dimensioned grip.

    Departments: Shots Fired

    At the sight of the silver patrol car with the bumble bee stripe, the children came running. They came running not with the usual curiosity of kids asking for perfunctory activations of lights and siren, but to tell Officer Todd Kobitz of the Valparaiso (Ind.) Police Department about the man who had harassed them.

  • Getting the Point

    Departments: Officer Survival

    Although I consider point shooting to be more natural than shooting with sights, there are definitely some tricks to it. I’ve been teaching people how to shoot this way for a long time and I’ve learned along the way that people “see” differently. Knowing how you see a target is the key to shooting accurately when point shooting.

  • Appleton (Wis.) Police Department

    Departments: A Closer Look

    Appleton, Wis., has long been a city of innovation. It lays claim to the second-oldest co-educational college in the nation (Lawrence University, established in 1847), the first electric streetcar system in the United States (1885), first American hydroelectric central plant (1882), and the first U.S. school built exclusively for vocational education (1912).

  • No Movie Like Real Life

    Departments: The Beat

    It’s interesting the subliminal effect that movies can have on us. Especially us cops, who are the subjects of at least one or two movies a year. Some of you may remember the movie “48 Hours” starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy.
