5.11 Pursuit Advance Boots: A tactical boot in a casual profile
Nearly a year ago to the date, I acquired the 5.11 Pursuit Advance Boots. Originally I was drawn to the casual design, but as soon as I put the boots on I was in love. The Pursuit Advance are amongst the topmost comfortable boots I have ever put on, are extremely light, and extremely mobile. […]

Photo of the day: Getting smoked
SWAT recruits getting smoked in an attempt to weed out those that should not be there. Every day started with a few hours of PT (physical training) in full gear, which sometimes included your gas mask. The goal; PT until someone quits. Simple concept, easily achievable. Go home, rest, and do it again the next […]

ASP Agent Concealable Baton: The Name Says it All
“Hmm, that looks odd,” I thought. “Never seen a metal box attached to the frame between the grill and radiator fan before,” I told a team member, ”I’m no mechanic, but I don’t think that belongs there.” I had been doing surveillance on a house that was believed to be selling drugs. I observed the […]
