Did you see where Denny said they can't carry them during their probationary year?
I missed that. Why?

Have they ever thought about partnering up with local agencies? When I went through rifle school at CPD, we had 4 in my class. We easily could've have 5 or 6 more. If IMPD has the time, and a instructor willing to watch after your people, I pretty sure our PD would welcome the interaction.

Well that sucks. There should be an allowance as x1.5 isn't much difference and doesn't make the firearm deadlier. Who made up these rules? Criminals aren't going to care what LEO's optics are.
Also, didn't they switch the definition of the probationary year? I know when we came on, it started at graduation from the Academy. Thought I heard it switched to starting when the Academy started.
I absolutely may be wrong on that. Hard to keep track of all the rumors.
I’m more thinking about the quality of the rifles, not the quantity. I’m all for more, but just think the more should come from vets, not recruits.
The butthurt old guys vs the rookies with the new gear, tonight at 11!
Did you ever get a FT slot? I mean, if you’re gonna let a newbie take your spot it had better be a full time gig? Can’t have them doing cool **** only half the time!I guess earning positions, promotions, and new gear is a thing of the past. I'll be back, headed to the academy to find a recruit to take my spot on EOD.

How hard is it to cut the red wire?
Depends on if you are colorblind.
That reminds me of a story. A few years ago I was out in the field with a gentleman from the DNR. He was trying to hook up a coffee maker he had taken out of his hotel room to his truck battery via an inverter with alligator clips). He was using NVGs because he didn't want to turn on a flashlight for some reason. Let's just say you can't tell which color wire is what using NVGs and the coffee maker didn't work after that.
It may not be as funny now, but it was hilarious then.
Guys like me made those rules. No magnification means a true 1x. It has nothing to do with making the firearm deadlier nor do we consider the opinions of criminals. It has to do with co-witnessing iron sights to the optic (required), not requiring exact eye relief (think gas masks or shooting support side), not reducing the FOV, allowing for both eyes open to encourage better situational awareness, etc..
I'm obsolete so my opinion no longer matters but a patrol rifle deployed in an urban LE role is a different animal than the missions our troops use theirs for. What may be good for one does not necessarily mean it'll be good for both.
