After clearing my work email (yet again) of a flood of "Officer safety" warnings accompanied with pictures of weapons disguised as every day objects, I just thought I'd post for the newer officers the following "Officer Safety" warning that sums up every one of those emails:

A weapoin of any type can be concealed anywhere!

There. That's all that needs to be said. So stop spreading those pointless emails around. :D

Actually I think that the best officer safety tip I ever got was:

"Anyone is capable of anything."

"Hands will kill you"

Their eyes will tell you if they're going to run, their body movements may reveal they may be hiding something..but that is peanuts compared to the #1 rule...

hands will kill you.

be safe

I know the exact type of e-mail you are speaking of. I'm not sure if I would state that this is the end-all officer safety tip, though.

My initial reaction was to be annoyed about those e-mails -- you're right that a weapon could be concealed within virtually any object, and it *seems* to be overkill when we're informed that somebody in Buttscratch, Wyoming was caught with a switchblade hidden inside a belt buckle.

HOWEVER, remember those e-mails when you get to court, and some attorney starts asking you to justify why you were manipulating certain objects during a frisk or weapons sweep -- these e-mails are your friend. (You can testify to having seen what the weapons look like, and having seen documentation that the weapons have been seized by cops from criminals in the field.)
