I arrested 4 punks that were doing hit and runs smashing cars on Wilshire Blvd in BH. They came right at my car heading in the wrong lane and almost nailed me.
I did a 180 and went after them. I was doing a lot of Police K-9 training at the time and had my car decked out with equipment. So I lit them up, went on the loudspeaker and had my Shepherd in the back seat do his attack bark over the speaker so they would know I had a K-9 dog in the car and wouldn't run.
They pulled over. I ordered them out of the car and down on the curb with their hands interlocked and had about 6 patrol cars converge in within minutes.
It was a big risk with 4 of them in the car, but with a police dog and a shotgun I figured the odds were on my side.
