Police K-9 dogs wear shoes www.privateofficer.com

Police K-9 dogs to wear shoes www.privateofficer.com

BERLIN Germany Feb 26 2008
Police dogs in the western city of Duesseldorf will no longer get their feet dirty when on patrol – the entire dog unit will soon be equipped with blue plastic fiber shoes, a police spokesman said Monday.
“All 20 of our police dogs – German and Belgian shepherds – are currently being trained to walk in these shoes,” Andre Hartwich said. “I’m not sure they like it, but they’ll have to get used to it.”
The unusual footwear is not a fashion statement, Hartwich said, but rather a necessity due to the high rate of paw injuries on duty. Especially in the city’s historical old town – famous for both its pubs and drunken revelers – the dogs often step into broken beer bottles.
“Even the street-cleaning doesn’t manage to remove all the glass pieces from between the streets’ cobble stones,” Hartwich said, adding that the dogs frequently get injured by little pieces sticking deep in their paws.
The dogs will start wearing the shoes this spring but only during operations that demand special foot protection. The shoes comes in sizes small, medium and large and were ordered in blue to match the officers uniforms, Hartwich said.
“Now we just have to teach the dogs how to tie their shoes,” he joked.

Officer guilty of sexual assault on duty www.privateofficer.com

Officer convicted of sexual assault while on duty www.privateofficer.com

CINCINNATI Ohio Feb 26 2008-
A former Cincinnati police officer admitted Friday to sex crime charges.
William Simpson pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery and agreed to resign from the police force.
Prosecutors said Simpson responded to a domestic dispute in October 2006 between a woman and her ex-boyfriend, who dispatchers said broke into the woman’s home.
By the time Simpson arrived, the man had left, and investigators said the officer took the woman to the clerk’s office to file burglary charges against her ex-boyfriend.
Simpson told the woman he would photograph her injuries, and authorities said the woman asked Simpson to find a female officer to take the photos.
Simpson refused, took the photographs, made sexual comments to the woman, held her wrists and sexually assaulted her, according to investigators.
Prosecutors agreed to drop three rape charges and an additional count of sexual battery in exchange for Simpson’s guilty plea.
He will be sentenced next month.

Security officers go on strike www.privateofficer.com

Security officers strike for a day www.privateofficer.com

Minneapolis MN Feb 26 2008
One-day demonstrations could foreshadow longer strike in labor dispute over health care costs, wages Security guards lined the streets of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul on Monday as part of a one-day labor strike.Members of the local chapter of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) voted Feb. 9 to authorize a strike, and the daylong picketing and support rallies were scheduled after negotiators failed Saturday to agree on the terms of a new contract.The approximately 800 striking security officers are expected to be back at work Tuesday. But if negotiators fail to reach a deal at their next meeting March 6, Monday’s demonstrations could be a prelude to a longer labor strike.In Minneapolis, the striking workers carried numerous signs and chanted a warning to their employers: “If it needs to get bigger, it will get bigger.”The key issues for the union are hourly wages and health care costs. Other sticking points cited by workers Monday included increased training for security officers and additional supplies, such as bullet-proof vests, for officers working in potentially dangerous areas. Security workers in the Twin Cities signed their first union contract in 2005, and the young chapter is waging an unprecedented battle as members negotiate their second contract. The SEIU Local 26 currently operates within the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and represents approximately 80 percent of the private security workforce in those cities.

The five security companies represented in the negotiations are ABM Security Services, AlliedBarton Security Services, American Security, Viking Security and Securitas Security Services USA. Buildings affected by the strike include Block E, the IDS Center, Ameriprise Financial Center and the U.S. Bank Building.Guy Thomas, the lead representative for the security companies, said buildings in the Twin Cities maintained continuous security service throughout the day Monday, as the security companies had prepared for the walk-out.Negotiators for the two sides have met eight times since Dec. 1. Professional mediators took part in the last two meetings, and are scheduled to do so again at the March 6 session.A union member familiar with the negotiations said representatives for the security companies walked away from the table Saturday without making any real progress on the subject of health care.But Thomas said in a phone interview Monday that Saturday’s negotiations were “very positive,” and that the security companies had offered an hourly wage increase and made progress on refining the geographic area in which the union can operate.He said the two sides “have made progress on [health care] and we believe the negotiation process should continue to play out. Each of the five security companies is committed to the goal that our employees will have an affordable health care plan when this is done.”A gap between the two sides also remains on wage increases. A union member said the yearly wage increases offered by the security companies are smaller than those in the previous contract, which expired Jan. 1. David Zaffrann, a spokesman for the union, said the average security officer in the Local 26 earns $11.75 an hour.Gregg Zavitz, a security officer at Ameriprise Financial Center in Minneapolis, said a major reason for the one-day demonstrations is simply “to show that we can do it.”Dozens of workers rallied at the Nicollet Mall on Monday morning and proceeded to march through the sidewalks of Minneapolis. A similar rally was held at Town Square, 444 Cedar St., in St. Paul.“Today is about wages. It’s about health care. But it’s also about dignity,” Javier Morillo, president of the SEIU Local 26, said at the Minneapolis rally.Comments by union members focused heavily on the high cost of health care. Their sentiments were echoed in remarks by U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken and State Rep. Paul Thissen, D-Minneapolis, who marched with the striking workers. Morillo also announced the union’s endorsement of Franken during the rally.Morillo said the union is willing to return to the negotiating table at any time. He said future walk-outs aren’t likely to occur before the March 6 negotiations, but added that a longer strike is possible as the two sides have a long way to go to reach a middle ground.The first contract proposal submitted by the union represented a 125 percent increase in hourly wages and a 650 percent increase in health care costs for the security companies.The security firms publicly balked at those demands in a press release Monday, but Morillo said the proposal was simply a high-ball starting point to begin negotiations.“You don’t start where you think you’re going to end up,” Morillo said. “We’ve talked with them (about) what kind of a figure we can accept. And right now, what they’ve given to us as their bottom line isn’t going to get our members the health care they need.”The SEIU Local 26 also includes a janitorial branch, and many members work in the same buildings protected by the union security officers. Morillo said the security guards are seeking the same health care benefits that janitors received in contract negotiations last year. Henry Lowe, 53, works for ABM Security Services in the Minneapolis parking ramp system and joined a worker march through downtown Minneapolis on Monday morning.Lowe said his wife has been hospitalized since 2006 with sarcosis, and he pays $579 per month in health care premiums for the two of them, plus a steady stream of medical bills.With 20 years experience in the security field, Lowe said he has been troubled by regular increases in health care premiums in recent years, combined with rising deductibles and reduced coverage.But he’s optimistic his union representatives will help to control his spiraling health care costs.“The union will get us the health care we need,” Lowe said. “The private companies don’t want to give us anything they don’t have to. I’m tired of being pushed around.”

Constable charged with assault on police www.privateofficer.com

Constable, security officer arrested during officer assault www.privateofficer.com

Indianapolis IND. Feb 26 2008 – A Perry Township Constable is in trouble with the law Monday afternoon following a weekend arrest at a Broad Ripple bar.
Constable Lawrence Walter appeared before a judge on two felony and three misdemeanor charges, including battery on a police officer, after getting into a nasty fight with police after he was told to leave Landsharks on Broad Ripple Avenue.
A Metro police officer says Walter, 27, refused repeated warnings to leave the bar around 3:00 am Sunday morning. He left once but returned, sparking a fight with police. It took four officers to get him subdued along with repeated stuns with their Taser.
IMPD Lt. Jeff Duhamell said Walter was “kicking the officer, spitting on the officer, swearing, and he had swung on the officer with a closed fist. The officer received injuries to his face.”Police say eventually Walter claimed he was an officer after putting up a nasty fight.”He told them several times he was a policeman,” Lt. Duhamell said. “He had been drinking.”
Officers talked with Walter’s employers at the Perry Township Small Claims Court, where he worked as a deputy constable. They terminated his special deputy powers immediately from the Perry Township Constable’s office, The Marion County Sheriff’s Department and at Wishard Hospital Security.
Walter told the judge his only previous arrest happened in Texas for public intoxication. The judge decided to released him after his attorney convinced the court he is not a flight risk and set his pre-trial and trial dates for next month.

Police unit make 111th internet arrest www.privateofficer.com

COLUMBIA, SC Feb 26 2008 – South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster announced Monday that a 30-year-old Columbia man was arrested on February 22nd in an undercover Internet sting conducted by the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.
McMaster stated that Dennis Joseph Powell, Junior, was arrested on one count of criminal solicitation of a minor, one count of attempted dissemination of obscene material to a minor, and one count of attempted criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
Arrest warrants allege that beginning on October 24, 2007, Powell solicited sex on the Internet from an individual he believed to be a 12-year-old girl, but he was really communicating with undercover Lexington County Sheriff’s Deputies.
A news release states Powell is also accused of using a digital camera to photograph his genitalia and using the Internet to send the image to the “girl.” Powell further arranged to meet the “girl” for sex at a predetermined location in Lexington County. He was arrested upon his arrival.
A search warrant executed at Powell’s residence resulted in the seizure of a computer, a digital camera, an image scanner, a bottle of wine and various computer related items.
Powell was assigned a $15,000 bond.
This marks the 111th arrest for the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Mounted Private Troopers Corral Concert Goers www.privateofficer.com

Mounted Private Troopers Corral Concert Goers www.privateofficer.com

Southlake Tx. Feb 26 2008
Alpha & Omega Mounted Security Patrol (A&O), the nation’s largest private cavalry with headquarters in Texas, will take its unusual public safety force to Michigan for the first time this summer. A&O will assemble riders from several states, along with local riders from Michigan, for the inaugural Rothbury Music Festival (http://www.rothburyfestival.com), July 3 to 6. The music and camping festival will be held at the DoubleJJ Ranch (http://www.doublejj.com) in Rothbury about 60 miles north/northwest of Grand Rapids. Some 50,000 music fans are expected to come to see Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic, John Mayer, 311, Phil Lesh and Friends, Primus, Snoop Dogg and dozens of other artists.
Alpha & Omega Troopers are a familiar site at the nation’s biggest music festivals. The company gathers a special force of riders who travel to half a dozen festivals a year. These riders are supplemented with riders from the local area who are trained on-site in the special skills needed to protect music fans. Riders traveling to Rothbury will have just completed their seventh stint at the nation’s largest music festival, Bonnaroo, in Tennessee in June. Troopers at Bonnaroo provide security for some 100,000 music fans and campers on a 770-acre site.
“Rothbury is shaping up to be an important music festival that can hold its own with other major music events nationwide,” said Frank Keller, president and CEO of A&O. “A&O Troopers have become a welcomed part of the festival scene; the fans are familiar with the riders and horses and love to come up and pet the horses. We feel like we are providing an important service and are having fun doing it. Horse enthusiasts in Michigan are invited to test with us for a chance to share the experience of providing security for some very devoted music fans.”
Riders come from all walks of life. More than half are women. Many are ranchers and police officers. Some are mayors and sheriffs. The A&O Troopers will accomplish the work of 700 foot patrol persons. To fulfill this charge, Alpha & Omega will use 15,000 pounds of hay (one ton per day), 14,000 gallons of water, 52,000 pounds of grain and all the equipment needed to house riders and horses for seven days. Their Trooper movement rivals any road crew effort by a rock band. Troopers come from a dozen states and will travel about 50,000 miles collectively to reach their camp adjacent to the festival site.
Visitors to the camp may think they have stumbled back in time to a Wild West campsite … except that this campsite is equipped with the latest technology and communications equipment. Troopers are connected with Rothbury security and with each other by state-of-the-art radios. A command and control center is housed in the semi-trailer that doubles as transport for horses. A&O commanders work from an office in a specially-designed motor home equipped with computer, fax machine, and high speed Internet access.
In their bright red shirts atop their horses, Troopers can be easily spotted by fans. Many followers of bands like Phish, Dave Matthews, and The Dead know the Troopers and their horses by name. Alpha & Omega has been part of the concert festival world since Woodstock ’94, after which they were invited to Phish’s Clifford Ball in 1996. Since then, Alpha & Omega Troopers have been a fixture at the nation’s most popular music gatherings.
“Our Troopers are particularly good at interacting with the fans,” Keller said. “Riders are trained in public relations as well as professional security measures; horses are selected and trained to handle crowds, rough terrain, fireworks and other sensory elements.”
Alpha & Omega Mounted Security Patrol is the nation’s largest and oldest private mounted patrol. Highly trained, uniformed Troopers provide public safety services at mixed use developments, amphitheaters, music festivals and other mass gatherings at locations across the United States.

Georgia’s Most Wanted Brought To Justice By Artist www.privateofficer.com

Georgia’s Most Wanted Brought To Justice By Artist www.privateofficer.com

DECATUR GA. Feb 26 2008 – The first time Marla Lawson saw the videotape of a gunman who robbed a Lexington Road convenience store and killed the clerk, she knew she could draw him.
In less than an hour, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensic artist finished a sketch of the man who shot the 44-year-old clerk at Lay’s Kwik Korner, even though part of his face was hidden by a bandana.
“When I saw him on the video, he just struck a chord and looked like someone I could sketch without a witness,” Lawson said. “I immediately got what I thought he looked like in my mind.”
Police sent the sketch to newspapers and television stations, and people soon started to call to tell detectives they recognized the suspect.
Investigators arrested Clifton James Thomas two weeks later and charged him with murder, armed robbery and several other felonies.
“If I had to rate Marla’s sketch as it compares to how Mr. Thomas looks, in terms of 1 to 10, I’d have to give it a 9 1/2,” Athens-Clarke police Capt. Clarence Holeman said. “I leave off the half because you couldn’t see his mouth” in the video.
But Lawson saw through the bandana, in a way, following the contours of his chin and lower lip to guess about the shape of his mouth.
Then there were the eyes.
“They just seemed to go straight to his soul,” Lawson said. “They were horribly dreamy and milky – really cruel-looking.”
Detectives showed the murder suspect’s drawing to another convenience store clerk who Thomas allegedly robbed about 20 minutes after Djamal Atroune was shot in Lay’s Kwik Korner at Lexington and Gaines School roads.
“A detective told me when (the clerk) saw the sketch, she broke out crying,” Holeman said.
Honing her skills
Lawson has drawn thousands of sketches that helped put away hundreds of murderers, rapists and other violent felons in the 20 years she’s worked for the GBI.
Even so, few people outside law enforcement recognized the 58-year-old artist’s name until she drew a picture seen around the globe: a sketch of Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph.
That drawing and one of Ted Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber, are the two most famous sketches in U.S. law enforcement history, GBI spokesman John Bankhead contends.
Lawson is jovial and outspoken – as colorful as her red hair. But she never sought the limelight.
Recently, while reconstructing a face on the skull from the remains of a man found in Crisp County in 2003, Lawson talked about her craft and the roundabout way she came to be one of the most respected artists in her field.
“When I was just a poor kid growing up in Atlanta, I’d walk the creek bed and dig up clay and use it to sculpt heads,” she said. “I wouldn’t sculpt anyone in particular, just people I made up. I was artsy-fartsy as a kid.”
Her mother encouraged Lawson’s talent, keeping her daughter stocked with art supplies.
“I found that I liked drawing faces, and I had no earthly idea I would one day be doing this for a living,” she said. “I just kind of fell into it.”
Lawson was 18 years old and scraping by as a temp-service typist when her mother urged her to put her talent to work for a little extra money.
She honed her skills as a street sketch artist in an Underground Atlanta alley, and a couple of years later, got a typist’s job with the Atlanta Police Department.
Lawson’s police lieutenant father bragged about his daughter’s talent, and his colleagues thought she could help them catch criminals.
Lawson first tried drawing only from victims’ and witnesses’ memories, but after three tries, she gave up because the results all looked alike, she said.
Lawson then asked for hundreds of mug shots that were headed to the shredder and asked victims and witnesses to point out traits that they recognized, she said.
“I find if they are looking through actual photos, that enhances their memories and they find things their mind had forgotten was there,” such as a mole, a uni-brow or a patch of acne, Lawson said.
Catching Rudolph
Lawson grew tired of the job with Atlanta police and quit after 15 years, but was unexpectedly drawn back into law enforcement two years later while working at a Subway sandwich shop in Coweta County.
She noticed that a man approaching the counter had a gun in his waistband, but the man left as Lawson called out to a co-worker in the back and a few customers came in.
Lawson learned that a gift store up the road was robbed that same day, she said, so she went home and drew a sketch of the man from memory, brought it to work the next day to hone it with her co-worker, then showed it to the gift shop employee.
“Oh my God, it’s him,” the clerk said.
Lawson gave her sketch to a Coweta County sheriff’s deputy who recognized the man as an ex-con who had recently finished prison time for an armed robbery conviction.
The sheriff’s office then offered Lawson a job, but not the one she expected.
She spent a couple of unsatisfying years as a jailer, but “then the Olympic bombs went off,” Lawson said.
Special Agent Charles Stone – who headed the GBI’s anti-terrorism unit investigating the bombing – visited Lawson at the jail and had a brief chat.
“He kind of whispered in my ear, ‘I’m going to call you tonight,’ and when I went home and told my husband I’m going to get a job with the GBI, he didn’t believe me,” Lawson said. “Thirty minutes later the phone rang and (Stone) asked me to come work for them.”
Lawson drew one sketch of a suspicious man someone saw sitting on a bench before the bomb went off, killing a woman and injuring more than 100 people.
Years later, Lawson drew Rudolph again.
“I was vacationing with my family in Florida when my beeper went off,” Lawson said. “The next thing I knew I was driving to North Carolina” to meet with a man who had seen Rudolph, whose hair had grown and was sporting a beard while living in the mountains.
“I just started drawing the whole face,” Lawson said. “I sat with (the witness) to help me make corrections, because Rudolph was looking a little messier by then.”
That sketch that appeared in newspapers and on television around the world, and helped police in Murphy, N.C., identify Rudolph after an officer spotted him behind a food store and held him on suspicion he was attempting a burglary.
Like Rudolph and many others before, Clifton Thomas is behind bars in large part because of Lawson’s handiwork.
“I don’t want to sound like I’m on an ego trip, but I laugh to myself when I think how funny it is that a grandmother with a pencil can catch a person 500 police officers are out there looking for,” Lawson said. “I try not to be so prideful. I really feel like the good Lord gave me a talent for a purpose.”

Girl raped going home on school bus www.privateofficer.com

14 Year Old Raped On School Bus www.privateofficer.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb 26 2008– Murfreesboro police said a 14-year-old girl was raped on a school bus while at least 60 kids and the bus driver were aboard.
Rutherford County school bus driver Joe Bond said, for safety sake, he looks straight ahead when hauling kids.
“I’ve been a bus driver for six years. I love my camera. I wouldn’t drive without one,” said Bond.
On Wednesday, his camera saw something Bond said he did not. A 14-year-old Riverdale High student was raped as the bus was traveling down the road, said police.
Brandon Stover, 18, a Senior at Riverdale High School, has been charged with sexual battery and rape.
“Did she say, ‘No?’” asked reporter Cynthia Williams.
“I didn’t hear it. I’ve got 60 kids on the bus all talking, cutting up, laughing,” said Bond.
Bond said it wasn’t until the bus stopped, and the girl was leaving did she tell him she’d been “groped” and urged him to look at the tape.
“Did she look upset?” asked Williams.
“A little scared maybe, but not really upset. She didn’t want anybody to know she turned him in,” said Bond.
Bond said that when he saw the tape, he saw pushing, but nothing that would indicate what Murfreesboro police said was clearly rape.
“In this case, our suspect actually reached into the pants of our victim and there was penetration when that occurred. So, that is considered rape,” said Murfreesboro police spokesman Kyle Evans.
The girl was sitting in the middle of the bus next to the window, about 15 or 20 feet from the bus driver.
If he didn’t have a clear visual of what was going on, police wonder why Bond did not immediately call authorities with what little he knew from the 14-year-old, police said.
“Who would I report to? I didn’t have the supervisor’s number,” said Bond.
“How about police?” asked Williams.
“She didn’t say anything about being rape. She said she had been groped,” said Bond.
It was the child’s parents who showed up at Riverdale High School the next day and reported what allegedly had happened.
Stover was arrested at school Friday and expelled the rest of the school year.
Police said they are still not convinced about what the bus driver saw. They also said Stover wasn’t a regular rider of the bus, and they said they believe he randomly chose the girl.
