Some of the biggest fears a law enforcement officer may have is being shot and being on the national/global news for a scandal. What if both were to happen to you? God forbid, if the worst case scenario happened, are you truly prepared? Mentally, physically, logistically? Be honest with yourself. I don't have the statistics but I can predict that a majority of our nation's law enforcement officers are not prepared for this.
