Mud/Rockslide Warning

Due to the recent wildfires and resulting burn scars, portions of Los Angeles County are at high risk for mud and rockslides. Heavy rainfall, which is forecasted for the area later this week, may lead to potentially life-threatening situations.

Things to Consider
- Mud and rockslides can occur with little to no warning
- Flash flooding can happen quickly, sweeping away people, vehicles, and structures
- Debris flows can carry large rocks, trees, and other material, causing catastrophic damage
- Stay informed about weather forecasts and emergency alerts
- Have a family emergency plan in place, including a safe meeting point and evacuation route
- Keep a battery-powered radio, flashlight, and first aid kit on hand
- Stay away from burned areas and avoid traveling during heavy rainfall
- Follow evacuation orders from local authorities immediately

Policing is complex. To impose simplistic solutions on a highly unpredictable job is not just naive—it’s dangerous. Von’s team at Force Science doesn’t just critique; they educate.

We at Law Enforcement Today decided to do a deep time into the facts, science, and accountability that they exemplify.

North Carolina: On Saturday, February 1, at 6:09 pm, a deputy with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) was involved in a car accident while on duty.

The MCSO deputy was completing a traffic stop when a vehicle drove by at a high rate of speed. As our deputy attempted to stop the driver, the driver hit another car causing minor damage before fleeing the scene. To avoid a collision, our deputy swerved, causing their patrol vehicle to go airborne. MCSO is actively working to locate the driver who fled the scene.

While our deputy sustained a non-life-threatening injury that will require surgery, they are expected to make a full recovery.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏽

For years, China took advantage of our open border to smuggle deadly fentanyl into our country and kill our young men and women.

We are shutting it down. Our Department of Homeland Security will protect the American people, no matter where the threat comes from.

Secretary Kristi Noem

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
 
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
 
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.

🚨 Two Heroes Injured While Protecting Others 🚨

Early Saturday morning in Dallas County, two sheriff’s deputies were injured while responding to a major accident. Despite their marked squad car with emergency lights on, a DUI driver crashed into their vehicle.

Thankfully, both deputies and the driver are in stable condition. This serves as a stark reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers face daily, even while assisting others.

Driving under the influence puts lives at risk—don’t be the reason someone doesn’t make it home.

👮‍♂️ Wishing a speedy recovery to our injured heroes.
