\"image\"<\/a>Boydd’s Products, Inc.<\/a> will sell you a bag of “gold” that can help you with your trolls.\u00a0 Boydd’s Pat-Down Props are injection-molded, non-functioning replica weapons and contraband used for realistic search training.\u00a0 Raise your hand if your agency trains with crappy BB guns and busted knives with taped blades.\u00a0 Yeah, it happens.<\/p>\n

Used by the FBI Academy, DEA Academy, FLETC, Dept. of Homeland Security, U.S. Probation and Parole, all major branches of the U.S. Military, and hundreds of state and local agencies, Pat-Down Props are safe, cost effective, and highly useful.<\/p>\n

A Single Pack of Pat-Down Props arrives in a carry bag that contains 16 plastic items ranging from a razor blade and syringe to a small semi-automatic pistol and cell phone.\u00a0 The props are gold in color for visual identification and so that they are easy to find if your zealous ex-Special Forces guy hides them really, really well.\u00a0 Each pack also comes with a metallic tape that can be applied to any of the weapons or contraband so that they may be used for metal detector training.<\/p>\n

Contents of a Single Pack include:<\/p>\n

1 – Compact Pistol
\n1 – Compact Revolver
\n1 – Loaded Pistol Mag
\n1 – Open Blade Pocket Knife
\n1 – Closed Pocket Knife
\n1 – Brass Knuckles
\n1 – Civilian Pepper Spray
\n1 – Mini Box Cutter
\n1 – Marijuana Pipe
\n1 – Meth Pipe
\n2 – Syringes
\n1 – Scissors
\n1 – Screwdriver
\n1 – Razor Blade
\n1 – Flip Cell Phone
\n1 – Drawstring Carrying Bag
\n1 – Strip of Metallic Tape to Enhance Metal Detector Training<\/p>\n

Having many differently-shaped objects reinforces the need for officers to proficiently identity each piece through the sense of touch for both officer safety and sound investigative practice.\u00a0 “Plain feel” is an important search and seizure doctrine in the Sunshine State.\u00a0 Pat-Down Props and equivalents teach effective habits.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a> \"image\"<\/a>A Single Pack can be purchased for $179.00.\u00a0 A Double Pack is currently $339.00.\u00a0 Boydd’s Academy Pack has four times the items for $645.00.\u00a0 Pat-Down Props are made in Ontario, California.\u00a0 Bonus!\u00a0 Wait, there’s more.\u00a0 Pat-Down Props ship free in the USA.<\/p>\n

I am a strong believer in good training.\u00a0 Good meaning operationally impactful.\u00a0 Learn to live, live to learn.\u00a0 Boydd’s reminds us that no or poor searches constitute one of Law Enforcement’s Ten Deadly Sins.\u00a0 My suggestion to our training officers will be to look into Pat-Down Props.<\/p>\n
