The first step in the Chicago Police Officer employment process is a written examination. The remaining steps include a physical fitness test, drug screening, psychological test, background investigation and a medical examination. Being on the eligibility list is not an offer or guarantee of employment. It is recommended that candidates review and prepare for the physical fitness test since this phase of the hiring process comes quickly for those candidates that pass the initial written examination.

“Surreal” is how Bill Motley describes the events since his daughter Brianna, 22, survived a fiery, fatal auto accident on Interstate 95 on Wednesday night. “Nobody knew she was in the car [at first] and he had the presence of mind to say ‘There’s another person in the car’ so we’re eternally grateful to him also.” Bill Motley said.

Brianna Motley was injured in a one-vehicle accident that occurred just before 8 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 95 just north of the Glades Road exit in Boca Raton. “I don’t know how she survived that crash,” Bill Motley said. “I told Jimmy he’s very, very modest but if it weren’t for him my daughter would be dead.”

Boca Raton Police Chief Dan Alexander said he was “extremely proud” of how all his officers responded. Officer Jalil admits the response is something he will never forget.

This is why Police Officers have dash cameras!
Hamilton officer cleared in fatal shooting during January traffic stop. Montana Police Officer Ross Jessop was justified in killing a man during a late night traffic stop.

HAMILTON – A coroner’s inquest found Tuesday that Hamilton Police Officer Ross Jessop was justified in shooting Raymond Thane Davis to death after the Hamilton man opened fire during a late-night traffic stop in January. It took a six-woman jury one hour to make its ruling following nearly five hours of testimony, which included a video that showed Davis pointing a pistol inches from Jessop’s face and pulling the trigger.

The click of the revolver’s hammer hitting a previously fired round was audible in the recording. Davis fired a second time as the officer fell back and drew his own weapon. Jessop fired his pistol 14 times into Davis’ vehicle as it sped away. One round hit Davis, 36, in the back and he died at the scene. Davis’ .41 caliber revolver was recovered from the floorboard of his vehicle. Its hammer was cocked and ready to fire.

So what is police training all about?, asked a San Diego DUI lawyer. It is about gaining strong administrative abilities, lots of strength in intelligence, getting used to harsh environments and maintaining strong physical strength. Now we talk about each of them in a little detail so that you get to know why each part is required to become an efficient police officer. First learning the art of administration for a police man is very important as then you learn how to manage you resources more efficiently in scenarios where you are under lots of stress and pressure to overcome certain problem. Now the second part is getting your intelligence to come up to a certain level. Because intelligence will eventually help you take intelligent decision to defeat you enemy.
A DUI lawyer San Diego advised that there are many ways you can gain this, and in police training you are put in different cases where you learn how to take intelligent decisions rather than careless ones. Now the next two things are separate points but yet they are one. To be a police man you need to be very fit physically in order to withstand in environments that are really harsh. For these you get intense physical training. This might include various exercises, swimming, running etc. These all are part of the training that a police man gets, so that he performs his duties well because he is the protector of public.

Handcuff Key Bracelet

Attached are photographs of a wrist band (bracelet) which is being sold by flea markets. You see many people wearing these as I guess they are popular right now. Not all the bracelets have the handcuff keys in them. However, all officers need to be aware of this so you can check prisoners when you place handcuffs on them.

Handcuff Key Bracelet Open

If in doubt, remove the bracelet from the prisoner after placing handcuffs on them and turn in the bracelet to the booking officer when you arrive at the jail. The keys are plastic so they will not show up on x-rays; however, the key can open a pair of handcuffs. With a little practice, one can be handcuffed and still access the key in the bracelet.
