She and her FTO should both do some days off. You NEVER NEVER NEVER reach into the car!! Glad she wasn't badly hurt.

As this officer found out, it can be a bad idea to reach through the window when the suspect can drive off. It is better to let him drive off than her becoming a hood ornament. Officers need to learn that suspects often do the unexpected.

You never reach into a vehicle to turn the ignition. This was told to me back in 1971, when I first got on the job, and it is still repeated to officers today.

I'm sorry this happened and hope the officer was not hurt badly. The tragic part of this is it all could have been avoided. I don't know how many times I have heard of this happening. As everyone else has already stated NEVER reach into a vehicle. How are we NOT learning these lessons from others.
