Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 6
Loren Christensen tells of a rookie officer on his agency who was not only incapable of shooting someone, but he would not even wear his sidearm. The officer was hired in the winter and because he wore a long, heavy uniform jacket, his training partner did not know that the rookie was locking his entire web belt and firearm into the car trunk at the beginning of each shift. When the training officer finally caught on--about three weeks later--he immediately drove the rookie back to the precinct. The new man was terminated a few days later, and rightfully so. Now, this man may have been a wonderful husband and father, and an outstanding citizen, but he had no business in police work.
