RETIRED SGT. BETSY BRANTNER SMITH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOC. - BETSY JOINS DAWN TO EXPAND ON THE STATE OF THE BORDER BOTH IN TX AND FL WITH THE VIRAL EL PASO VIDEO - AS WELL AS DESANTIS AND HIS CONCERN ABOUT HAITIAN MIGRANTS... The State of Squatting... Police Confidence Dwindling Nationwide... Impact of Sanctuary Cities... Use of American Resources... (AP) — Faced with gaping vacancies in its police force and concerns about public safety, the Philadelphia Police Department had to think creatively about how to get more candidates in the door. The answer? Fewer pushups. The city's move to lower requirements for the entry physical exam at its police academy is part of a broader effort nationally to reevaluate policies that keep law enforcement applicants out of the job pool amid a hiring crisis. To close the gap, policies on tattoos, previous drug use, physical fitness and college credits are all being reconsidered. Los Angeles is offering housing subsidies. Other departments, like Washington, D.C., are offering signing bonuses of more than $20,000. Several states have expanded eligibility to noncitizens, while others have changed the minimum age of officers to 18. Read more. Will these changes help solve the nation's law enforcement shortage? How risky is it to lower standards? For perspective, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world. (Daily Express US)A boat carrying 25 illegal aliens from Haiti has been intercepted in waters near Florida, according to the state's Governor, Ron DeSantis...Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were conducting a patrol near Sebastian Inlet at 7.30pm on Thursday, February 29. They stopped a 42-foot vessel which was involved in what they described as a "human smuggling operation." Investigators found onboard 25 individuals, including five unaccompanied children, alongside the weapons, night vision gear and drugs. The vessel operator and a passenger - both identified as U.S. citizens - were turned over to Brevard County Sheriff's Office, according to the press release. The suspected migrants - referred to as "illegal aliens" by DeSantis - were turned over to the state's Coast Guard for deportation. The incident comes amid growing concerns about violent criminals from gang-ridden Haiti crossing into the US. Read more. For perspective on the challenge this migration from Haiti poses for law enforcement, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world. Sgt.

How far does your fishing obsession take you? Would you fly a thousand miles from home all by yourself to live out of a rental car for 5 days? That's exactly what our good friend Jimmy Fee does every winter. His home state of Massachusetts scratches his surfcasting itch in the warmer months, but in January, Jim saves his sanity by packing up his striper tackle and putting it to use on the snook and redfish in Florida's Sebastian Inlet. We called him while he was still on site. What better way, we thought, to understand the psyche of this diehard than to talk to him during his final night of living in a Nissan Rogue.
