Copps 94

Had an interesting day yesterday, got some good work in.  Last night we were invited to participate in Copps 94. It is a weekly radio program they started about 6 months ago.  It runs from 8:00pm until midnight.  We go out in a long procession of vehicles, emergency lights on, and respond to the various calls throughout the City.  In between songs they interview the police to educate the community on various crimes going on around the community and how to stay safe.  ...maybe it was working because it was very quiet.  We participated in a road block where they had ALPR set up.  Interesting.  Running plates against the 50,000 outstanding warrants they have.  Mainly moving violations and parking tickets.  I have some interesting observations, including how officer safety is well, ......different.  We all wore bullet proof vests, without a trauma plate in it! Lol, guess it won't stop an AK47 anyway :)

Weekend is here, and it is bright and early. We are heading to the coast, to stay overnight in Walvis Bay.  We will be renting ATV's near "Dune 7". Should be very awesome to see some of the world's largest sand dunes.  Stay tuned for photos.
