    Often when the police send out an APB (All Points Bulletin) on the police band, they will alert their fellow officers to be on the lookout for a particularly dangerous criminal and they will say they are "Armed and Dangerous".

    Many Post Offices have a bulletin board that shows pictures of these criminals so that we will know what they look like if we come into contact with them. But consider our greatest enemy: • You will not hear a thing about our greatest enemy on the police band • You will not find a picture of our ...read more
