I qualed with a 94.8.

Not bad for an old man......

 

 

On the Nature of Tasers

 

Per the department's stats....

 

The probes move under 200 feet per second and are not very accurate.

Tasers are more effective to a person’s back instead of front.

In general, they are only 50 percent effective.

 

 

One In the Four

 

 

At Winter Qual, I put one round at the 25 yard mark a half into the 4 zone, or I would have shoot a possible. Still, a 99.6 isn't bad at all. 

 

 

 

 

Range

 

I qualified with a 94.4. We are still using the old scoring system.

Qual, so not a bad round.

 

 

For Winter Qual, I shot a 96.8. I threw two 3's and two 4's with my left hand, so not a bad round. It's the last qual of it's kind. The department is going to a pass fail mode with more emphasis with shorter range shots. 

 

 

Grumpin'

 

Don't do that,

 I barked at a Lob's trainee.

He was opening a bindle of tar

 heroin with his bare hands.

 

 

 

 

Taser Numbers

 

 

In 2008, officers in the department deployed tasers 378 times.

 

In 2018, officers used tasers 46 times.

 

So far, in 2019, officers have deployed the taser 25 times.

 

I accounted for 3 of those incidents.

 

 

 

 

Qual

 

After roll call, D-Fresh

ran me through range.

I shot a 94 with my primary

and a 96 with the back up.
