Wichita Kansas Recovery Agent Shooting

Scott, again my comment was not intended to offend or disagree. I frankly didn't remember who said it or the context in which it was said, I simply remembered that someone had said LE officers were not a good fit for this job. That was a statement that I was surpised to see and didn't fully understand.

I realize that police officers are shot / shot at all of the time. My point, which I may not have expressed fully, was that a LE officer would have been better trained and have knocked on hundreds/thousands of more doors than me for example. Chances are good that I might make mistakes that an experienced LE officer would not.

It doesn't take more than a few hours on the Internet to realize that there are many untrained or adrenaline driven people in this business. I CLEARLY was not putting you in that bucket, arguing with your experience, views or any of the above. I simply assumed that the training and experience that a LE officer gains over his or her career puts him or her in a good position to revert to that training and experience in a situation of danger.

I hear what you are saying and I'm sorry if I offended or my comments were taken as a challenge. I should probably be reading more than I am posting. I'll go back to quietly reading now....

AMEN !

What Gene said. I apologize for side tracking the original post, but I had to address comments made. I get a little defensive when solid advice gained from several weeks of experience is summarily dismissed, or when one of our on is critiqued absent the complete facts.

Mike, I am not the be all and end all, my opinion is just that, and bears no more or less prudence than the next guy's opinion. Everyone here as a back ground and we have members here that are highly countenanced and are revered by the local LE detectives in their respective AO. My local SD has me on contract for investigations for their CSE locates.

Prayers out to his family,

Scott

Your thoughts, advice, experience or opinions were not dismissed or disvalued. I also apologized which I guess was not accepted.

Scott, you added a paragraph to your response and I will as well. I by no means want to come here and cause waves, make enemies or get into disagreements with those who clearly know a ton more than I do. I'm here to learn. Perhaps I should word my posts as questions rather than opinions since I probably don't know enough to have an opinion at this juncture.

Again, I apologize and hope that no grudges are held.

Mike your opinions and contributions to this site are welcomed and encouraged. I hold no grudges, or any ill will. Intelligent people can discuss topics and disagree as gentlemen. I look forward to your success in this industry and how your opinions evolve as you gain experience in this business. Please consider that the number of bail enforcement people that actively work in this industry and remain covert in their actions and activities far eclipses the number of "YouTube" hunters desiring attention. Please don't judge this industry based on the flash in the pans that just go away eventually.

I look forward to your success in this industry and to read your opinions as they evolve with your success and experience.

Scott

Thank you Scott. I really appreciate it and you.

Man there goes my ideas of You Tube fame .
All the training in the world and even street smarts wont protect anyone from a bullet. Best outcome we can all hope for is luck, luck and more luck. Knowing what you are walking into, getting enough assistance and even walking away to fight another day increase the lucky day. Even then we may get hit by a car walking back to ours. Training Planning Experience and most of all always being scared Sh*tless everytime I go on a case keeps me on this earth.

Howdy Pard!
What you said there is spot on! There ain't much info out there that I've found about the incident. The best I've found so far is here:
http://www.kake.com/kansas/headlines/Bo ... 92688.html

Among the facts is the bounty hunter was shot in the back. He was in stable condition after surgery.
Police are still trying to sort out the events leading to the shooting, and of course, looking for the shooter.
Several people have been arrested.

Check the link for better information.

Adios!
Mel
