SHERIFF’S OFFICE AN- NOUNCES PLAN TO ACQUIRE NEW 0K ARMORED VEHICLE By Phil Ferolito YAKIMA, Wash. — The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office will get a new armored vehicle to assist deputies responding to violent crime. During a Monday study session, Yakima County commissioners agreed to award the sheriff’s office 0,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds for the purchase. Commissioners are expected to finalize the award during next week’s regular business meeting. Commissioner LaDon Linde, who presented the request, said the sheriff’s office has two old Army surplus armored vehicles; one is out of service and the other experiences frequent problems. The sheriff’s office responds to its share of violent crime, and an operable armored vehicle is needed to help protect deputies, he said. Linde highlighted three officer-involved shootings on or near the Yakama Reservation within the past two months; two involved deputies and one involved a Yakama Tribal Police officer.

(Photo: Tampa PD/Screen Shot) - HEROIC FL OFFICER HONORED WITH MONUMENT MADE FROM HIS CRASHED PATROL CAR TAMPA, FL. – When Tampa Police Officer Jesse Madsen steered his police vehicle into the path of a wrong-way driver last March, he made a split-second decision that cost him his life, but likely saved the lives of other drivers on I-275. Tuesday, his family and fellow officers watched as a new law enforcement memorial was unveiled at District One headquarters, Fox 13 reports. It’s a metal sculpture made from parts of Madsen’s mangled patrol car along with guns that were taken off the street. The sculpture depicts a majestic lion, six feet tall, ready to pounce. The Lion statue honoring Officer Jesse Madsen and other fallen Tampa officers incorporates parts of Madsen’s patrol vehicle. “A lion was very much like how Jesse (Madsen) was, fierce and protective, but still family oriented,” said Tampa Police Major Eric Defelice, a co-worker and close friend. “So, it really embodied what Jesse meant to us.” The sculpture was created by Tampa metal artist Dominique Martinez, owner of Rustic SteeL. MILWAUKEE PD REPLACES DUTY FIREARMS MILWAUKEE — Every Milwaukee police officer will be trading in their duty firearm for a new model after three members of the police department were wounded after their current holstered service firearm accidentally discharged. According to WTMJ News, the Milwaukee Police Department recently announced it will transition from its current Sig Sauer P320 pistol to a Glock model. The shift will cost roughly 0,000. “These unexplained discharges are a serious concern for our members,” Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman told WTMJ News. The Milwaukee Police Association previously filed a lawsuit against the City of Milwaukee over the continued use of the Sig Sauer P320 despite the technical difficulties the weapon had been experiencing. The president of the association announced it would now be dropping the lawsuit against the city due to the discontinuation of use. The entire implementation process of the new duty firearms is expected to take several months. As reported by policemag.com. 32 The BLUES The BLUES 33
