The six-year-old boy was trapped, and nobody could hear his screams for help. When he didn't return home, his parents called the police. Within minutes, the K-9 cops were on the scene. Sergeant Shane Matheson let his partner, a bloodhound named Copper, sniff items owned by Kollin. The dog quickly learned the boy's scent and went to work searching-- with his nose. Copper eventually led police officers to the manhole in the park where Kollin was found!

Download or read book Trooper Down written by Marie Bartlett and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a trooper’s worst nightmare. What begins as a routine patrol suddenly turns violent when someone pulls a weapon. Moments later, the trooper is down—wounded or dead. Then, like a swarm of angry bees, every other trooper on the force mobilizes to catch the suspect. Whether they’re issuing a ticket for speeding “just a little” over the limit or conducting an all-out manhunt, the people who have chosen this perilous and demanding profession are rarely revealed as vividly or candidly as they are here. In Trooper Down! Marie Bartlett uses her gripping hell-for-leather style to paint a fascinating portrait of one of the nation’s most elite law-enforcement agencies. In interviews and anecdotes, troopers relate stories of narrow misses, breathtaking confrontations, strange and hilarious encounters with various “crazies,” and, most heartbreakingly, working the wrecks—aiding the injured and dying in highway accidents—while troopers’ wives and widows tell of the heart-wrenching realities trooper families face. Through this remarkable book, we not only comprehend the life of a trooper, we are unforgettably there.

Download or read book Cow County Chip written by T. R. Shannon and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T.R. Shannon joined the San Jose California Highway Patrol in July 1966, and transferred to the San Andreas Area CHP office two years later, where hed stay for the next twenty-one years. During that time, he drove about 750,000 miles on state highways and county roads, patrolling the most varied climate and terrain in California. Through hot summers, freezing winters, in the mountains, and in the grasslands, he thought fast, navigated ethical quandaries, and believed in and always strived to enforce the law without fear or favor. In this collection of 128 short stories, he looks back at high-speed pursuits, heart-breaking traffic accidents, physical confrontations, unsolved murders, and other eventsfrom the routine to the unbelievable. Some of the people he arrestedand some of the people he saw diehe shed no tears for, but otherslike the first person he arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, earned his sympathy. An officers job involves much more than writing tickets, investigating sometimes minorbut too often tragictraffic accidents, and helping disabled motoristsalthough all those things are critical parts of the job highlighted in Cow County Chip.
Download or read book The Broken Center Line written by Ralph W. Landre, Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought you might feel comforted by the sound of a shotgun? The following incident describes how such a noise can be comforting, from Chapter Twelve: **** "May I see your driver's license and registration?" The motor rider grinned and replied, "I don't think you want to see my driver's license, do you?" I could feel the press of unwashed bodies as they pushed against me and the rider I had been talking to said, "You're not going to see anything else, Mr. Cop!" The timing was perfect, almost as if it had been staged. My actions had diverted the crowd's attention completely to me and they failed to notice my back�up units slipping into place and two of the officers emerging with shotguns. There was a stunned silence when the shotguns were racked and loaded almost in unison by the officers. "I don't think you heard me. I asked for your driver's license and registration," I asked again and the rider started fumbling for his license. I glanced over my shoulder and observed two CHP officers (one car unit and one motor unit) as well as a sheriff's deputy standing spread out in a line behind me. I never have felt more secure than I did then and there. * * * * This is a book about many facets of a Highway Patrolman's life while working in this dangerous occupation. The last statistics I remember checking indicated that there are more officers killed in traffic enforcement, than in any other law enforcement duty or activity. This is indeed a sobering thought. While it seldom happens to an alert officer, it usually involves an officer who is not paying attention to his duties, or who is taking unnecessary risks and has his mind focused on something else. However, this book as written is mostly devoted to the large variety of things going on to all officers in all agencies and at all locations. No two traffic stops or investigations are exactly the same and should never be treated as if they are. The lesson here is plainly: "Don't take needless risks! Think safety!" It won't do any good to become paranoid about everything you do, but pay attention to what is happening around you and you'll probably live to go home to dinner with your family. Most of the incidents described in this book are illustrative of many similar incidents occurring day in and day out to all officers everywhere. They have been chosen not just for the interest they should awaken in all of us, but to show the wide variety of incidents confronting every officer each time he puts on the familiar blue and tan uniform and pins on his star to start each and every shift. Although this shows variety, it can never show all of the different types of incidents that do occur as we go through each shift. This is only my story of some of the incidents I have been personally involved in and each officer would have his own stories to tell about similar or different incidents occurring to him. The only time I received a serious injury was when I took things for granted and assumed things not in evidence (this has been listed in one of the chapters dealing with incidents occurring in the Fresno area). Other incidents occurred during my career where, although I was not injured or killed, it wasn't due to my fantastic reflexes or remembering to do everything right, but undoubtedly was due to my very active guardian angels. Nothing else could possibly account for the way things turned out and I'll just keep on being thankful. Some of the material is meant to be funny and still, is serious. It doesn't hurt anything to try and see the humorous side of any incident. Just keep things in the proper perspective and balanced as you go through life, especially in this line of work. You will have many opportunities
