After the Columbine High School Massacre in 1999, we in law enforcement changed how we respond to active threat calls. The days of waiting outside and containing the incident were long gone and now the attitude was get in there and stop the threat.
Times and tactics have changed since then and we are now in the era of single-officer response, rapid task force response, and advanced trauma care training for patrol. Unfortunately we have seen incidents where officers have either not gone in, or have been ordered to not go in to handle the threat and save lives.

If there is to be a comparison, it should be made between military law enforcement organizations such as the Army and Marine Military Police, Air Force Security Forces, Navy law enforcement and related investigative branches like CID, NCIS and OSI. These organizations operate in a parallel environment to their state and local counterparts. Patrol, traffic, crime prevention, investigations, 911/dispatch, corrections/confinement, SWAT, even DARE and school resource officers are routine parts of military law enforcement even with the additional responsibilities of installation security and combat operations.

But there are some situations where that relationship breaks down, like in loud settings or when a dog has to travel into an area where it can't see or hear its handler. Now, a Japanese lab has come up with a new vest that allows dog handlers to control their puppers via "remote control."
