How to 'Speak' Autism
By Joel Lashley
Reprinted from Correctionsone.com
Prisoners with special needs continue to provide challenges for police, correctional, and healthcare security personnel.
For example, a subject is arrested on the street exhibiting bizarre behavior and then the prisoner is brought into your jail for booking or emergency room for medical clearance. The transporting police officers have him in special restraints due to his bizarre and violent behavior. The patient is rocking back and forth in the chair. His wrists are raw and bleeding as he strains against the cuffs. Suddenly he stops rocking and glances blankly around the room, but doesn't make eye contact with anyone. You step forward and ask him his name. He doesn't answer. You lean towards his ear and ask a little louder, "What kind of drugs did you take today?"
Immediately, he violently jerks his head away, as if in pain, and starts pulling on his cuffs so hard that it appears that he could seriously injure his wrists. He resumes vigorously rocking back and forth. At this point, you might be making a reasonable assumption - he's on PCP or some other powerful street drug. But your assumption may just as easily be wrong

How Not to Respond on the Street
BY KEVIN DAVIS Reprinted from Officer.com
Would that it could, that one shot from an officer's sidearm could effectively stop a deadly suspect in his tracks. Oh, it can and has happened but the "Myth of the One Shot Stop" has been disproven many years ago.
It's the proverbial "zero dark thirty" and Officer Jones from Gotham P.D. has responded to a suspicious person call at the intersection of Talbot and Baird in the city's rough east-side section. Officer Jones stops his patrol car a distance from the male suspect matching the description who has been reported by the caller to be leaning into the driver's side windows of cars that stop for him on the street. The caller states that she has seen money being passed and the suspect on foot reaching into his pants front before she hangs up unwilling to leave her name. Dope dealer is Officer Jones' thought as he exits the cruiser and begins his approach on foot. "Hey man, what's up?" Jones calls to the suspect just before his world turns to Hell. The male dressed in dark clothing turns away from the officer before he wields back with an outstretched arm, hand filled with a blue steel .40 cal. auto-pistol barking and spitting fire. "Aw Sh*t!" Jones yells as things go into slow motion and he reverts to auto-pilot, training kicking in with a quick move to his left as his right hand fills with his own Glock and he punches the pistol out toward his assailant and gets busy on the trigger as his pistol breaks his line of sight.

10 Truths of Police Leadership
Integrity is its own reward, and other lessons drawn from longtime service
By Richard Fairburn
Reprinted from Policeone.com
With the knowledge of leadership experience gained in several agencies - good and bad - I've used my "gift" (see #7) of keen observation and analysis to formulate some truths that are common threads. See if any of my truths ring true for you, and add any you've discovered in the comments field below.
1.) No good deed goes unpunished. Unfortunately, this negative truth can often mean the most diligent, hard-working officers get more than their share of the workload. As a leader, do you choose the easy way of handing out assignments to known performers who won't complain, rather than motivating slugs to perform?
2.) It is NEVER so bad it can't get worse. Another potential negative, but a turn for the worst must be planned for, especially during critical incidents (a la Murphy's Law). Plan for the worst and then plan for it to get still worse. You must always have (or be prepared to quickly formulate) a Plan B, C and D. And E.
