Basketball Shoe Can Conceal Handcuff Key

Agents should be aware that the new Adidas Tracey McGrady basketball shoe has a hidden compartment designed to store a key. The new Tracy McGrady basketball shoes do not have laces. Instead, they have a device that can be tightened to give a snug fit.

The snap on the back opens up a compartment that holds the special key to tighten and loosen the shoes. As shown, a handcuff key can be easily concealed inside the compartment. Removal of the special tightening key would allow more space.

Duane Chapman, star of the popular reality show Dog the Bounty Hunter, was arrested in Hawaii on Thursday along with two cast members on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy.

The charges arose from Chapman's celebrated capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in 2003 in Mexico.

Chapman, 53, shot to fame when he roped in Luster, who had fled the United States after being convicted of raping three women.

The bounty hunter, his son Leland and colleague Timothy Chapman (no relation) were arrested by Mexican authorities after they refused to hand over Luster. They posted bail but did not return for a court hearing, which led to a warrant being issued for their arrest in the United States.

Chapman's publicist said she was confident the trio would be vindicated. The arrest went without incident.

I am trying to verify some licensing requirements for the State of New Hampshire for Bail Enforcment.  I was told they now require a $400,000.oo insurance policy and a training course approved by PBUS.

Can anyone confirm or deny this information?  If it is correct who is authorized by PBUS to give the course and where could one find that kind of insurance?

Very often and regardless of the situation, many bail and recovery agents turn a blind eye to those who are elderly. We let our guard down and assume that the aforementioned are less of a threat then younger individuals. Dead Wrong !

Age has nothing to do with a threat to an agent. If anything, it has the chance of increasing the threat. We must remember that criminals age and a failure to handle them the same as you would someone younger could not only result in loss of life, it can also result in a wanted felon walking. Everyone from bank robbers, pedophiles, rapist etc.. grow older but none the less are still dangerous.

Things are not always as they appear. First impressions mean nothing; question everything and everyone. As we in the Bail profession grow older, we grow wiser. So do criminals.

Stay Safe

One of our members posted an interesting topic on the CBAA forum regarding the safety of attempting to make a skip pickup of members of the El Salvadorian gang, MS13.

My question to other bail agents is, have you bailed many known or suspected gang bangers? Have you had more problems with fta's of gang bangers? Finally, have your recovery agents had a more dificult time locating and apprehending gang bangers?

These are pictures of four knives that are capable of firing .22 caliber rounds. They have a six shot cylinder within the handle and the barrel is in the upper portion of the knife handle. The trigger is on the lower portion of the handle.

This information came from a Security Director in the Dallas area where the weapon was discovered by a transit system police officer.

Easily-Concealed, Easily-Deployed Metal Whip

New concealed weapon being sold from a Japanese website (http://ninja.hitj.co.jp). The Ninja Whip Belt is marketed as a self-defense weapon. The whip sells for about $100 and is easily concealed in the under-side of a common belt. This new type of weapon could be very dangerous to any agent whose attention is diverted for just a few seconds. The belt could be missed unless you search closely. It WILL set off metal detectors, but there is the possibility that an agent might assume the belt buckle has set off the alarm and not the whip. The whip -- which has the thickness and flexibility of a rigid yet thin, steel cord -- is very easy to both conceal within the belt.

It can be easily deployed, by unfastening the buckle and pulling it out from inside underside of the belt. The stainless steel whip is 25 inches in length, the thickness is 1/6-inch stainless steel, and has an O-ring as a handle. Always keep in mind that this and other concealed weapons are on the streets. Never assume a defendant is unarmed or harmless even if he has been frisked.
