Stop that song!
I was listening to a popular oldies station the other day and heard the lyrics below from a Beatles song, “Run For Your Life.” They are not even innuendos, the man is threatening to kill a little girl if she leaves him.
I’m a retired Reno P.D. sergeant. One of my most memorable and tragic calls was a murder/suicide where a man killed his estranged wife and then himself. I was first on the scene and unsuccessfully gave her CPR.

Divorce
The January 2008 article regarding divorce hits home for many of us in law enforcement. While some of us experience amicable agreement with custody arrangements, others aren’t so lucky. After four years studying the matter, I’ve found many problems with our laws that seem to encourage divorce as well as custody battles that place children in the middle.

Criticism misplaced
The Taser Foundation was recently criticized in a national daily newspaper for hosting a poker tournament dubbed, "Beauty and the Bet." The event featured Playboy bunnies to help raise funds to benefit the families of officers killed in the line of duty. The article intimated that there was some controversy between the Taser Foundation and Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS). I don't think that is so. But you have to read the article carefully.

I’m the chief of the small city of Bayou Vista on the outskirts of Galveston, Texas. I’ve worked as a lieutenant, sergeant and deputy for the Harris County Sheriff’s Department for over 20 years. Over that time I’ve been involved in many pursuits. In 1982, I shot and killed a young boy who was fleeing in a stolen vehicle. In 1991, I was the lead vehicle in a pursuit that reached speeds of more than 100 mph when the suspect went the wrong way on Interstate 45 towards Dallas.
