I'm not a religeous man but I pray for my many work colleges who are still in the cesspool business of Aviation, I hope some can at least pull thru this, I fear a lot won't!

OSTT qualification is their ability to carry a firearm, batton and spray etc, meaning they are qualified to tackle the bad guys.

There are many police in roles that don’t include working on the front line in a police station, ready to hit the streets should your predictions of a huge crime wave come true. Say the word and a bus of them will roll out of HQ, assuming they still fit in their operational gear after a siesta behind a desk.

It may comfort you to know (true story) that the top selling item at Rebel sport on Tuesday was the venerable cricket bat. Now either a lot of cricket lovers are preparing to be stuck at home, or your prediction of a crime wave has already been predicted by purchasers of said bats.

I'm sure my colleagues and I will get our marching soon . Probably the best outcome will be leave without pay
Best outcome is to quarantine the brainless twats.

Operational safety tactical training.

it was called Project Beacon when I did it back in mid90’s and we did the S&W course. Ended up too many police shootings so it was changed to more baton and capsicum and less .38.

Your mob wrecked it for those of us that followed you and now the SAP .40 is more of a last resort, rather than the first level go-to item on the belt.

Squawk is correct. I’ve heard certain detectives have already been told to order new uniforms. Prosecutors are next if the courts shut down.
