Posted by: | CommentsOk, everything is back and running. I know there were some significant interuptions in service, but everything should be 100% again. If you run into problems, please let me know.
Also, a big thank-you to Dream Driven Designs. They worked on my server issues and got me back in the game. If you have any need for web site help, design, or development, give them a try. They did more than I expected for a fair price, and within the time they promised. I can’t ask for any more than that!

I used a Blackhawk Serpa CQC holster and magazine pouches to help me win first place in the Marksman Classification at the 2010 SC State IDPA Championship – Stock Service Pistol Division. Pictured is me at the 2010 NC State IDPA Championship wearing the Blackhawk Serpa CQC and magazine pouches. In addition to the practical shooting sports, I depend upon these products on a daily basis.
Thanks to all who participated!
Get Involved in Professional Organizations
Posted by: | CommentsPolice officers have many chances to join professional organizations, yet most cops don’t belong to any. So, here are a few of the many law enforcement organizations you can join to get training, expand your networking, and improve your game.
International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA) is the largest trainers’ association in law enforcement. ILEETA is a fantastic resource for anyone involved in criminal justice education and training. Members include instructors from all over the globe. ILEETA has a large on-line library of training and reference materials, access to discounted liability insurance for members, and an amazing annual training conference to name just a few of their benefits.
The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) is the premier organization by and for law enforcement tactical officers (SWAT, TEC, etc.) Current membership includes more than 1600 teams, and more than 30,000 officers worldwide. The NTOA is an amazing wealth of information. The NTOA has a library of training materials, product reviews, and an excellent magazine. Additionally, the NTOA offers consulting services for agencies. For example, an after-action report they compiled for the Cobb County (GA) Police Department after a 1999 incident was exceptional.
Win a BLACKHAWK! $50 Gift Certificate
Posted by: | CommentsWant a $50 gift certificate for BLACKHAWK! products?
Until my recent trip to the headquarters of BLACKHAWK! in Norfolk, VA, I did not own any of their clothing or gear. After having the chance to put the gear through some testing, I am extremely impressed by the quality of their products, and I have since purchased a bunch of BLACKHAWK! goodies.
Unlike me, you have probably been using BLACKHAWK! gear for a while. So, through June 30, 2010, send me your best photo(s) or story of you using BLACKHAWK! clothing or gear. One photo or story will be selected to win a $50 gift certificate. Include your name, address, phone number, and your story or photo. If submitting a photo, please include a description.
By submitting, you agree to allow BlueSheepdog.com to publish your photo(s) and/or story on the website (I’ll remove specific personal details). Send submissions to BLACKHAWK@BlueSheepdog.com. There are not any hidden strings, mailing lists, spam or other “stuff” associated with this giveaway. Only the winner’s information is forwarded to BLACKHAWK!
