Toey, who works at the Westminster barracks, followed standard procedures by removing a pedestrian from the interstate and placing him in the front seat of the cruiser after checking for outstanding warrants and finding none, Brehm said. He said Toey had offered to drive Burns to Cumberland, 17 miles west of the pickup point. "He was trying to be a nice guy and give him a ride," Brehm said. |

It's a clip and the end of the rope that we can put around the handcuffs and tie it off on the headrest or put it around the ankles and close the door on it to keep them from kicking. Oh, I forgot to say if they wanted they can open the door without a problem. So for those of you who have cages, enjoy them all you have to do is hose out the back seat area. I have too many stories of transporting prisioners in the front seat.
The other reason we don't have them and this is my gut feeling, it cost money! Hell our K-9 guys have to install their own K-9 cages, the department doesn't do it for them. I'm done, I'm getting off my soapbox before I get worked up. STAY SAFE! |
