- 4 eagles killed January 17, 2013 Authorities: Motive mystery in slaughter of 4 bald eagles Granite Falls WA an 'egregious act' By Lindsay Cohen KOMO The birds - three adults and one juvenile - were found last week floating in a lake on private property, A wildlife officer kayaking on the lake for work spotted the birds and reported them.

- September 17, 2014 Ford Police Interceptors offer radar surveillance to detect attackers Posted Ford unveiled its surveillance mode technology last year as an option for 2014 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility models, and it has been a huge success. The surveillance mode technology is all about improving officers' situational awareness when their vehicle is stationary, and they aren't paying total attention to their surroundings; when filling out paperwork, for example. When an officer activates the system, the rear radar begins monitoring what's happening behind the cruiser. If it detects someone coming up on the vehicle, then the rear camera turns on, the driver's side window closes and the doors lock. Of course, in busy environments with people constantly walking around, the police can also just keep surveillance mode turned off. The whole setup is meant to give a cop a few extra seconds to ascertain whether a person getting close to their car means them harm.
