'Delphus Hicks is walking history': First black sheriff in Tennessee to retire
The Jackson Sun
Share
One of the first things Hardeman County, Tenn., Sheriff Delphus Hicks Jr. plans to do after he turns in his badge is change his cell phone number. "It's going to be good not to get those calls in the middle of the night," Hicks said. The 71-year-old leaned back in his office chair, where he has spent countless hours. The only sign of his age can be seen in his snow-white hair. Hicks, who will retire this week, has spent more than 40
years in law enforcement and 24 years as sheriff of Hardeman County. When he took office in 1978, he was the first black sheriff to be elected in Tennessee.

Los Angeles authorities plan to use heat-beam ray in jail
The Associated Press via Google News
Share
A device designed to control unruly inmates by blasting them with a beam of intense energy that causes a burning sensation is drawing heat from civil rights groups who fear it could cause serious injury and is "tantamount to torture." The mechanism, known as an "Assault Intervention Device," is a stripped-down version of a military gadget that sends highly
focused beams of energy at people and makes them feel as though they are burning. The Los Angeles County sheriff's department plans to install the device by Labor Day, making it the first time in the world the technology has been deployed in such a capacity.

killing," Spann said.

Police car wars: With Crown Victoria retiring, rivals in hot pursuit
Detroit Free Press
Share
Chrysler unveiled the first photo of its all-new police car based on the Dodge Charger — providing fresh evidence of a brewing police car war in which rival automakers have one main competitor in their sights: Ford. Although U.S. law enforcement agencies buy just about 75,000 police vehicles a year — a small number compared with the more than 10.4 million cars and trucks bought by U.S. consumers last year — the sales
are profitable, given all the high-tech gadgets and upgrades on police cars.

Gadgets fight crime
San Bernardino County Sun
Share
When James Durrah locked himself inside a house during a standoff earlier this month, SWAT officers first used a rather medieval method - a battering ram - to break down the front door. But they followed that up with one of the most state-of-the-art law enforcement tools, the Robotex robot, one of many new gadgets changing the way police agencies fight crime. The machine, equipped with front and back cameras, infrared lighting, and
a speaker, was sent into the residence instead of a police officer.

Border violence hits close to home
Las Cruces Sun-News via American Chronicle
Share
Daily reports of drug cartel-related killings in Juarez may numb sensitivity to the severity of the situation just across New Mexico's southern border. There is, after all, an international boundary — lined with miles of fence and patrolled by scores of federal agents — that separates Mexico from the United States. Periodically, however, incidents like one over the weekend in El Paso, Texas, call to mind that the raging
cartel war is just a stone's throw — or a bullet's shot — away.
