This has proven true on a couple sad occasions. Now being a recent grad of the FBI leadership course (no one fails) our ass chief cm decided that the NPPD should return to the 9mm pistol and get rid of the 40 cal. Simply and I repeat simply because that's what the FBI carries !!!! As stated prior, the 40 caliber glock is a excellent handgun, it has superior stopping power, far better than the 9mm, in fact in the unfortunate case of a involved shooting case after case proved one or two rds discharged to neutralize the assailant versus 5-6 sometime 15 9mm rds to neutralize. Just what is the logic here. Simply Ass Chief CM is running around playing junior G man. He has lost reality. 1st the tank, then the additional units within the dept, then the million or so spent on the ghost traffic unit, he wants a new station. Spend spend spend, why not he is second in charge, if the PD is called out for useless spending its Chief G on the hot seat. In regards to officer safety awareness, ass chief cm just set us back ten yrs. This is not the FBI, its a city PD, with all the negative media attn on the FBI these days, why bother. CM, the FBI is hiring, applications are online, feel free to join !!!! Chief G you still just don't get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
