From the news:
"At approximately 2am this morning, Bradley County (TN) Deputy Tiffany Oakley went home for her lunch break. She observed a man hiding behind a vehicle on her property. When she asked the man what he was doing, he attacked her. Details are not very clear at this time. Deputy Oakley reportedly used her taser, to no avail. Deputy Oakley then shot the suspect, killing him. Deputy Oakley won the battle for her life. We are thankful she survived. Heads on a swivel everywhere, everyone."
When you read these news reports as a probation officer, keep in mind that you are part of this reality. Whether you are sworn or not, we are included under the law enforcement umbrella. The people we deal with on a daily basis have the potential to act violently as it was in this case. I don't know if Officer Oakley's attacker was a probationer, but the point is that we deal with dangerous people with the potential for violence. They are not your friends. Always be aware of your surroundings and don't get complacent with your case load! Stay safe!!
