If You Have An Emergency, Please Lock And Load...

Do Not Call 911, It Will Take Too Long To Respond, Please Defend Yourselves...
by Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry.





That is the message that is echoing all over the nation.  911 is not what it use to be!

As stated this week, a sheriff who released a radio ad, urging Milwaukee-area residents to learn to handle firearms, so they can defend themselves while waiting for police said Friday, that law enforcement cutbacks have changed the way police can respond to crime and your call for help.

In the 30-second commercial, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. says personal safety is no longer a spectator sport.

"I need you in the game," he says.

"With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option," he adds. "You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back. ... Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there."

Under Wisconsin's "castle doctrine," someone who uses deadly force against an unlawful intruder to their home, business or vehicle is presumed to have acted reasonably. 

A spokeswoman for the state Department of Justice said that as of this week, there are about 155,000 concealed carry permits in Wisconsin.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Clarke said he just wants people to know what their options are. While self-defense isn't for everyone, some people see personal safety as their own responsibility, he said, and they should be trained properly.

"I'm not telling you to `Hey, pick up a gun and blast away.' ... People need to know what they are doing if they chose that method -- to defend themselves," he said.

But he also said he wanted to call on residents to be law enforcement "partners." He said he could either whine about budget cuts that forced him to lay off 48 deputies last year or he could get creative.

This is just the tip of iceberg and funds have to be raised so citizens can be protected.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's office released a statement criticizing the ad: "Apparently Sheriff David Clarke is auditioning for the next Dirty Harry movie." 

Barrett was beaten up several years ago by someone with a tire iron, and Clarke said he thought that would make the mayor "a lot more sensitive to people being able to defend themselves in such instances. A firearm and a plan of defense would have come in handy for him that day."

The point is simple, we must all pay our way and feed the city coffers.  That means, parking and infactions fines, court dues, property taxes and all paid on time.  If not, the next step is going to cost you a lot more.

Cities, municipalites and business are resorting to the most effective methods of debt collection, recoupeit, which reunities revenues with their rightful and legal owners.

If the city bills are paid, the police can protect you, the pot holes get filled and everyone is happy.

recoupeit, will come knocking on your door if you owe your city monies.

recoupeit, collection perfection in reuniting revenues...


This allows you to afford the law enforcement services the public demand and deem right under the law.

Use full crime analytics, tracking, call for service and next event predictability to enhance your services, save time and importantly expenditures.  With the less officers you have, we can maximize their time from our company, Tracometry.
