Off Duty Carry

Posted over 5 years ago I'm sure most state and local law enforcement have an off duty carry policy. If yours says you can carry....do it. My partner was shot and killed last Feb. in a robbery gone bad (he was off-duty). There's more to the story, but had he carried, it would have probably saved his life. Sometimes in the moment we forget that we're not in uniform and react in order to protect. I've worked out an emergency word so my wife and kids know when I think something is wrong and they need to walk or run for cover. In the short 4 years I've been in the department I've been threatened several times. Protect your family, your community, and protect yourself. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Such a sad story, I am sorry for the lose of your partner. Good advise about the code word, I never thought of it but will come up with one now. And my wife wonders why I want to carry now that I am retired, I keep telling her because there are so many whack jobs out there with guns looking to shoot at anyone. |

| Posted over 5 years ago In today's world, I carry EVERYWHERE. There is no telling anymore when someone upset cause they just broke up with there boy/girlfriend is gonna storm in somewhere and start shooting. Not worth the risk. Great advice on the code word as well! "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. " |

| Posted about 5 years ago Our agency policy says off-duty carry is optional, but you must always have your badge and ID card. I never leave home without at least one firearm. Better to have and not need than need and not have. Stay Safe! PL Mentoring Team Member My day begins when yours ends. |

| Posted about 5 years ago Sorry to hear about your loss. Let's honor him by training to always carry. Nothing disgusts me more than cops who don't carry 24/7. Especially if they have a family. I shake my head in amazement when I think about it. I don't go anywhere without being armed. |

| Posted about 5 years ago Sorry for the Loss Deputy.. I worked at a small dept when I first started and most of the guys didnt carry an off duty, much less wear a vest when they worked. We were a quiet retirement city. But I couldnt shake them to do it. I requested thru the chief to carry a secondary weapon on my ankle and was told, that if everyone else would do it that I could.. NO SHIT.. I work at a premier dept now.. SHERIFFS OFFICE!!!! Never the less, Our Sheriff is 10-8 and motivated. So we are issued a baby glock for off duty and secondary weapons. Ive never had to pull a secondary weapon or off duty weapon. But I catch myself in places more saying. " Man Im glad I have my bitch, incase things go down".. lol
