Front To Rear
It’s been some time since I was in SWAT or in law enforcement for that matter. And over the past 30 years I’ve been teaching, it was an oddity if there wasn’t at least one cop in the fout to five firearms classes I taught each month. Often the whole class is made up of law enforcement officers. We hold firearms and tactical training blocks with our resident city, county, state and federal officers quarterly, so even though I’m not in law enforcement as a day job, I still hold close ties to law enforcement on an almost daily basis.
My county is 8,000 square miles in size and is protected by only six officers — to say they’re spread pretty thin is an understatement. So, wife Heidi is a newly minted EMT and recently signed on as a reserve deputy. She’s there to help in “bad spots and times” as a tactical medic. I staunchly support her volunteerism … so long as she’s got the correct gear to do the work.
When it came time to “gear up” I was amazed and happy for her at all the new really good gear available. I didn’t say it was cheap, I said it was good. Like a couple of teenage girls, we started shopping to get her gear.
