Educational Focus in June Issue of American COP
OutdoorHub 05.22.13
Wading through the labyrinth of online education courses, the June issue of American COP highlights a wide range of opportunities available to officers looking to enhance their careers. In “Online Education Opportunities,” American COP staff writers identify some of the best institutions catering to police officers.
“Whether it’s to enhance your promotability, change career paths within law enforcement, prepare for a post-retirement position after you shed the uniform or simply to become a better, more informed and well-rounded officer, the advantages of online training and education are significant,” say American COP staff writers.
Today’s mammoth ammo shortages have provided numerous challenges for departments everywhere, making it difficult to acquire basic training ammo. In the special feature “Duty Ammo,” Contributing Writer Scott Smith details the latest ballistic advancements and highlights the value of seeking out small manufacturers.
“It would benefit any agency that can, to work on having a secondary or tertiary supplier of ammunition,” advises Smith. “Don’t be afraid to use operations such as Black Hills, Freedom Munitions, Atlanta Arms [and others] for at least training ammo. You’ll find most, if not all, of the smaller companies ammunition meets FBI protocols and will likely meet your agency’s requirements.”
Additional features in this issue of American COP include a review of the battle-ready Glock G30S, new carry options from Safariland and Galco and some practical tips to improve relations with the community.
