Officer Lanahan:

May the story of Your unfortunate incident serve to save the life of others.

I remind less-tenured officers to search arrestees even those supposedly searched by other officers. I often share the following:

Twenty years ago, I was assigned to work a jail. While inside a locked booking stall, the DUI arrestee saw the motor officer place his weapons into a gun locker. The arrestee looked at me and said, "Where do I put my .357 magnum?" Now, mind you, motor officers do not transport. Had the arrestee been a truly bad hombre, it could have been a real bad day for any of us along the booking process.

Incidentally, I told this story to a probationary officer who an hour later searched an arrestee seated in the back of a patrol car, and found a loaded gun...

Sir, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace.
