DOW female officer responding to the Shooting.

I feel dirty after through this thread...

[LOL]

A shorter magazine might be easier to get in and out of the front of the car.

If I had to guess, she was a ranger from Cherry Creek SP. Parks and Wildlife got merged a few years ago, and a few of the wildlife guys have spent some serious coin on their rifles. (When I was with Parks, it was pistols only and shotguns if the senior ranger really liked the idea, and not a rifle to be seen. This was over a decade ago.)

ETA: They're certified by the state POST board, not any Federal anything. DOW used to use the academy at Red Rocks, and Parks used Arapahoe, but that might have changed since the merger. There is a federal school that they try to send people to, but that's a school specific to boating and boat enforcement, run by USCG. I put in for it, but they weren't going to spend money on training seasonals.

Not totally up to date on all the uniforms that LEOs around the area wear but in looking at this photo I notice that the sleeve patches indicate she is a Department of Wildlife officer. Do they normally carry "Urban Street Rifles" set up that nicely? Also wondering what tactical advantage does she get by just going with about 20 rounds in that 30 round mag?

Sorry, I would link the exact photo but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

If nothing else, just thought that photo was interesting.

Both of our DOW, and USFS LEO's are armed to the hilt.
More firepower than SWAT.

Well, good to see that the LEOs are armed like this. I never would have thought a DOW officer would be armed like this but all the better. She has about as a good a chance of being one of the first LEOs on the scene as anyone else so why not.

I cant find the pictures.

I work with a lady who's husband is DOW. They always are dealing with bad guys as much as the city LEO's. DOW usually doesn't have much for backup, they have to handle, cuff, deliver the defendant by themselves. Usually in a pickup with them in the front seat.

Glad they have all the firepower and then some.

Seeing as how they spend a lot of time in the woods during hunting season, when most everyone they "meet" is armed with a long gun, I am not surprised they have rifles.

What's the general consensus on her sling?

Pic is #42

Many time when I see a woman law enforcement person I think of her turning to her partner and asking "Does this this vest make me look fat?"

Yes there are a few hot cops out there....a few. There are a lot of female officers that are not, at all.

Not saying that I am anything special to look at but I have a great personality.

So, did this broad show up for the Photo Op or was there really a need for another LEO?

School shooting = ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Pretty much every LEO from every nearby agency is going to respond.

Just an FYI:

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson released new details Tuesday afternoon about the items the shooter brought with him into the school. He was armed with a 12-gauge, pump-action shotgun; three functional Molotov cocktails, a machete in a canvas scabbard and more than 125 rounds of assorted types of shotgun ammunition (steel-shot, buckshot and slug).

According to investigators, the shooter carried numerous rounds of shotgun ammunition in two bandoliers worn across his chest and waist and carried the remaining items in a backpack.

So I think that he selected the shotgun because it is easy to operate, requires less precision marksmanship, and was less expensive to buy the shotgun and ammo. He was 18 years old and probably new that he didn't have a good understanding of marksmanship, so he wanted a "point and shoot" type of firearm. All the ammo meant that he planned to take many others with him, thank God he was stopped early in his sick act.

Back in '06 I dealt with a really hot one in Parker, and there was one on JCSO back then that was cute... more recently I've met two that were good looking out of I don't know how many in the last 6 months... yes, your statement is extremely accurate. [Beer]
