Officer Safety Training

This does not mean looking left and right before you cross the road or always put your seatbelt on when you are about to enter a high speed chase. It is techniques to enable the officer to remain safe when confronted by the baddies. What Mr Bill learned today was a continuation of what he learned on 30th July and showed us at home and had the family screaming for mercy as he held them down on the floor.
Handily we had friends and family over tonight so Mr Bill had lots of 'volunteers' to try his moves on.
He and his colleagues practised on each other today and Mr Bill, having been warned by an experienced police officer, went prepared and had wrist sweat bands to stop his wrists getting sore. If the cuffs are put on properly they can be painful and the most recalcitrant criminal can be brought to better behaviour.
Mmm, perhaps having some handcuffs would have made bringing up the little Bills easier.

Mr Bill has a utility belt (similar to Batman’s) and found out where all the equipment goes on it and how it is to be used. When fully equipped it is quite heavy and makes going through narrow doors difficult.

so, it's the utility belt that makes going through narrow doors difficult for mr bill is it?

Mrs Bill said...

Of course it's the utility belt - I hope you are not suggesting Mr Bill is at all rotund

Has he found out where the Mighty Mouse and iPod clip onto the Utility belt as yet? After all, if no self-respecting sailor can go after the baddies without one...

Not forgetting the family pack of Mars Bars.
