It will advise, inform and discuss such issues as officer safety, TTPs, tactics, pertinent technology evolution and developments in personal equipment and CDI gear. The BOLO Report will have content of interest to personnel of every conceivable assignment, from patrol (obviously) to K9, vice and tactical units, from civilian LEOs to Military Police and Security Forces and EOD.
