Illinois’ SAFE-T Act Is Actually Unsafe (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes that its provisions are dangerous for police officers and crime victims. Illinois’ new reform bill has just been activated, but many law officials in the state are questioning its wisdom.

For instance, a would-be defendant can actually leave home for 48 hours without electronic monitoring … Read more

Want a Perfect Example of Why Police Officers are Discouraged? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Front Page Magazine.) Two years ago, Kamari Pleasant received probation for a felony gun case in Cook County, Illinois. It is home to Chicago where some of toughest gun laws are in place. Yet, somehow that young man was given probation. That usually wouldn’t be a problem. If the prosecutor and police looked at the circumstances and discovered extenuating circumstances that would justify leniency, that’s wonderful. In Pleasant’s case, police allegedly found … Read more

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why a change is direly needed in terms of how the NYPD is run. With crime rising to unstoppable levels in some cities, one would think that things couldn’t get worse for the state of some police departments. However, that isn’t the case for New York.

Uvalde Body Cam Footage Shows Exactly What Police Officers Can’t Afford to Do (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) For police officers, hesitation is not an option. In a situation in which innocents are put at risk, officers should do whatever is necessary to keep innocent people safe from harm. Hesitating — and even using personal judgment — is a sign that maybe someone shouldn’t be a police officer. Because that can make all the difference between life and death. I’m speaking about Crimson Elizondo. CNN reported that she was … Read more

by

Following the shooting that took place in an Uvalde elementary school a couple of weeks ago, some city officials are questioning the importance of resource officers within schools, even getting to the point of removing them.
