Survey - Backup Weapons
I am a retired cop doing research on the use of backup weapons on the job.
During my time on the street, I concealed a 38 five shot in the straps of my vest and a combat knife in my boot.
The recent events in Los Angeles revealed the ugly side of weapon retention and what could of resulted in another
senseless officer shooting.
So, I would appreciate your input on the following questions. Thank you. John
If you carry a backup weapon, what type is it?
If a firearm, does your agency require you to qualify with it?
Have you ever used your backup weapon and why?
Does your agency permit you to carry them?
Have you ever had a subject grab your service weapon?
Thanks in advance and stay safe!
