As team leader of the Police Tactics & Rescue Unit, I directed officers late one night to strategic positions around a building where a dangerous suspect was hiding. Believing the culprit to be on the roof, I decided to have an officer shine his flashlight in that direction on my command. At just the right moment, I whispered to him, “Okay, throw a light on the roof.”
The officer hurled his flashlight to the top of the building.
