On January 5, 2011, the first in the past 12 years case of FMD occurred in Bulgaria. In any future outbreaks, we would take a much more precautionary approach and announce a ban as soon as a case of FMD is confirmed. FMD is a highly contagious disease affecting cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, swine and other cloven-hoofed animals.
Every officer should have the highest integrity and character. However, when we asked police officers what they saw as the most important qualities to performing work as law enforcement officials, they thoughtfully offered these additional traits.
Police officers must understand precisely when, how and where to shoot to prevent unnecessary death or injury. Likewise, firearms training is a major component of most police academy physical training programs. Recruits must pass marksmanship tests with up to 90 percent accuracy with a variety of guns, including pistols, handguns and shotguns.
