I always thought that was pretty smart as Communications knew where I was at and what I was doing. Better to be safe than sorry.

I got so tired of people asking me if they could shoot an intruder and drag their body inside. (Sure, they have a word for people that do that, they’re called “inmates”.)

IMHO, the best policy is to not shoot someone if you don’t have to. That rule got me through 40+ years of LE service.
