I like the set up with the Aimpoint pro red dot !! We also received training on the 40mm.

Did you guys use the single shot 40mm too? We used it a lot in custody and Sgts. carried them in the field along with pepperball guns. Now we'll all have the 40mm when we go 10-8.

Yes we did...same ones we use for corrections. The station was only issued a few of them so certain deps who went to the class can go 10-8 with one.

Curious if the new cars with automatic cruise control emit a signal that interferes with radar/lidar?

Not that I've seen.

Police speed radar works in the K and Ka band, roughly 24ghz to 36ghz.
Police lidar uses infrared laser at 904nm wavelength.

Adaptive cruise control uses a 77ghz frequency.
ACC lidar works in the 850-950 nm range.

So, there should be no interference.

If you own a Hyundai, be mindful that they are easy to steal. Gangsters like to steal them, do dirt and then ditch them.

By degrees of separation it was like friends, family, neighborhood, etc "network". Can't seem to find the study for the US, just the one done in Sweden.

As a former non-law enforcement Federal retiree, I'll just say that 3@50 is not enough for the law enforcement officers I worked with. It's hard to quantify putting your life on the line day in, day out.

Most federal employees get 1% per year worked x avg of high 3 (if you are 62 with atleast 25 years, your new multiplier is 1.1%). If you are a special category then you have a different multiplier or (s).. LEO or Executive branch and Dept of State or certain 3 letter non-Dept of Defense agencies pay different rates for length of overseas assignments.
