No truer words..

This should be a headline news item on every broadcast and print news medium on the planet. The extraordinary bravery and presence of mind of Michele Archer is commendable. Beyond the accolades for this incredibly heroic Vermont State Trooper, there are takeaways for every LEO seeing this piece. My .02, FWIW; 1. That's a rural area. Backup is not close nor plentiful, and neither is fire/ rescue or EMS. Drowning child, domestic violence, car wreck with trapped occupants, bar fight, whatever- you will be dealing with everything, on your own, for quite some time- maybe for the rest of your life. Let that one marinate for a while. 2. Water rescues are a thing. Has your agency approved you to wear external armour in an LBV, so you can get everything off in a hurry, before you go into the drink? LBV's are great for your physiological health, too. 3. Water rescues are a thing. Can you swim? If not, why not? 4. Whether you can swim or not, you can be Jason Samoa and a panicked 10-year old 80-pound girl will still drown you. You'd better be ready to fight someone in the water before you drag them out. Or you will spend the rest of your life wishing you had. 5. You'll likely have to pay for it yourself, but you can't go wrong investing in a throw bag and a rescue ring for your upcoming victims, and a robust PFD for yourself to throw on before you get into the water. Have all that shit ready to go for when you need it, not at the bottom of your vehicle trunk. 6. 'Gear < skills'. Don't go all 'Part Five' of this and not first and fully invest in parts 3 and 4. Train until you get it right, then train until you can't get it wrong. 'In Omnia Paratus'- 'Ready For Anything'. 7. Everyone in that video will be hypothermic. Be ready to manage hypothermia even on the hottest summer days, never mind the chilly winter ones. Have changes of clothes and rescue blankets. "You may not be the best, the strongest, or the brightest, but you might just be the only one willing to put yourself out there. The time may come when you choose to do the difficult right over the easy wrong. When that day comes, do your best and be prepared to do it again and again and again." -C.
