The shooting that left CPD Officer John Bartholomew dead and another officer gravely injured should be a clarion call for lawmakers to amend the SAFE-T Act to mandate detention of dangerous and habitual criminals and end the catastrophic electronic monitoring program. Sadly, they probably won’t.

Changing the law would be an admission that it was a massive overreach in favor of violent criminals that has left hundreds dead and wounded. Look for Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson and other progressives to detract us with continued tales of fictitious ICE threats and other political scarecrows.

A shooting that left a Sioux Falls South Dakota police officer injured is spurring law enforcement to renew the call for the state to take a hard look at its parole and prison system as a whole.

Police say two of the individuals police pursued were on parole and had “attempt to locates” issued. Sioux Falls and Minnehaha law enforcement have been critical of South Dakota's prison system in its entirety in the past. That came at the forefront amid conversations to build a new state prison in Sioux Falls.

Mike Milstead is the Minnehaha County Sheriff. He said on Tuesday, 114 of 400 inmates in the county jail were on parole holds. He pointed to state statute that says parolees are under Department of Corrections custody until the final day of parole. He’s advocated for taking a hard look at South Dakota’s parole and prison system. He said this shooting is just another reason to call for changes, calling the parole system a "revolving door."

SAFETY SKILLS TRAINING: Our South County Patrol deputies spent the day at Rucker Elementary School in Gilroy helping students learn and practice important “Code Red” safety procedures. Fourth and fifth‑grade students rehearsed the “run” protocol by quickly moving to their nearest exit, while Sheriff’s Office staff ensured other classrooms were properly practicing “hide” and “defend” techniques.

These drills help empower students and staff to respond safely and confidently in an emergency. We’re proud to partner with our schools to keep our community prepared and protected.

NEW: A paroled sex offender used an unauthorized cellphone to chat with a 15-year-old girl from his South Side halfway house — but his roommate heard his filthy talk and started taking notes, which he turned over to the police.

Breaking news: neighborhood ‘donut champion’ didn’t win over the crowd. While you thought you were putting on a show, the neighbors were calling it in. Traffic Unit found the car, and now it’s parked somewhere a little quieter for the next 30 days. Administrative fees to get it back? About $2,000. Zero bars, zero sympathy.

Two deputies with the Orange County Sheriff’s department were hospitalized with serious injuries after a “teen takeover” in Orlando, Florida drew over 1000 people to a popular gathering spot for brawls, thefts, and assaults.

But get this: Parents claim officers used “unnecessary force” and are demanding the deputies be suspended for apprehending close to a dozen young people resisting arrest after assaulting officers and others.

This is what the war on cops has produced: A society where people don’t just lack respect for law enforcement—they’re openly hostile toward the men and women risking their lives to keep communities safe.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for the deputies recovery🙏🏻

Deputy David March was shot and killed after stopping a vehicle on Live Oak Avenue just east of Peck Road in Irwindale, California, at approximately 10:40 am.

The subject had stated to friends that he wanted to kill a police officer during a traffic stop and intentionally got stopped. He waited for Deputy March to get in front of his patrol car so he could open fire, as Deputy March would have no place to take cover. Deputy March was shot several times in the head and chest.

The man, who was identified shortly after the shooting, fled to Mexico where he remained for four years. On February 23rd, 2006, he was arrested in Mexico by U.S. Marshals and Mexican federal agents following a joint investigation. He was extradited back to California and on March 2nd, 2007, he pled guilty to second-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Deputy March had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for seven years. He is survived by his wife and stepdaughter.

“My goals are simple, I will always be painfully honest, work as hard as I can, learn as much as I can and hopefully make a difference in people’s lives.”

Please, praying for the Columbus Police officer who was shot in the line of duty this evening🙏🏻

Ohio: A Columbus Division of Police officer is currently in surgery after being wounded during a shooting incident in South Linden on Wednesday evening. The confrontation began at approximately 6:18 p.m. near the intersection of Hamilton Avenue & East 16th Avenue during what was initially reported as a traffic stop.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has confirmed that the suspect involved in the shooting has died at the hospital. While the officer remains in the operating room, official sources have not yet released the specific identity of the officer or the deceased suspect.

Local law enforcement has established a large perimeter & shut down 17th Avenue from Lexington Avenue to Cleveland Avenue. BCI investigators were dispatched to the scene to lead the inquiry, which is standard procedure for shootings involving police.

At this time, there is no official word on the specific sequence of events that led to shots being fired. FOP Capital City Lodge No. 9 President Brian Steel confirmed the officer was hospitalized & requested community support for the recovery process.

Chad Bianco has served as Sheriff of Riverside County since 2019 and is a top Republican contender in the race for California governor.

Now, he has a message for the far-left: “They’re actually going to realize, after the eight years of me being your governor, that I wasn’t the demon that they thought I was.”

Bianco is promising to fix the state’s affordability problem by lowering the cost of housing, gas and eliminating income taxes.

ICYMI: A tense scene unfolded overnight at Mission Community Hospital after an armed woman threatened security and barricaded herself inside the ER restroom, prompting evacuations of staff and patients while LAPD attempted negotiations. SWAT ultimately breached the door and took her into custody without further incident. Ironically, she was treated at the same hospital for minor injuries sustained during the incident.
