Video: Top Cops Debate Ban On Police Foot Pursuits (8 min)
Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) March 19, 2007 -- Three top cops debate L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. policy prohibiting officers from chasing criminal suspects on foot when they are alone or without police back-up. In an eight minute Video News Blog, Full Disclosure Network™ presents a dynamic exchange of views as presented by LASD Chief William McSweeney, Detective Roy Burns, (retired LASD) and LAPD Captain Ken Hillman, (retired). The video is available for viewing FREE, on demand, 24/7 as a public service of the Full Disclosure Network™ at this URL: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/flash/VideoBlogs/41.php
Here are a few points made during this debate:
*
CHIEF BILL McSWEENEY: Says that Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has a policy prohibiting a single patrol Deputy from chasing and challenging a suspect on foot. The Department policy says that they are not to physically engage the suspect so as not to endanger the officer or the suspect.
*
DET. ROY BURNS, LASD (ret) Points out that in Compton, the 4th most dangerous city in America, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department only has one officer assigned to each patrol car. He says foot pursuit ban is not needed due to the fact it has been over 20 years since the last LASD Deputy was killed in a foot pursuit and only four in the last 50 years.
*
LAPD CAPTAIN KEN HILLMAN (ret): Says management should "never restrict officers from doing their duty" and then asks... "what kind of a message does that send to the community and to gang members?" "Do we really want our officers only to be a clean up crew to crime scenes?"
Following the video news debate viewers are asked to participate in an online survey by casting their vote on questions pertaining to the issue. They are also asked to leave their comments and to join in the online blog discussion of the issue.

How IP-based Video Surveillance Works -- Way Beyond Analog
When you're shopping around for an IP-based video surveillance system, you
will need to be particularly cautious about what exactly you're looking at and
what the individual terms mean. How IP-based video surveillance works is open to
interpretation as far as some video surveillance and security salespeople are
concerned -- not because they are trying to confuse the issues, but because there
is no genuine consensus on what the term "IP-based" or related ones such as
"networked" or "web-based" means.
