Recently, a parolee who escaped from a correctional facility out of Kalamazoo, Michigan, was apprehended subsequent to a car accident which resulted in a head injury. As a result of a routine X-ray for the injury, the parolee was found to have a concealed handcuff key inside the skin of his mouth. Inside the parolee's mouth, was a pouch-like pocket made of skin which had been created by techniques likely similar to those used in body piercing. The handcuff key was hidden in this area, and may not have been found without the X-ray. This information is being shared to remind law enforcement personnel of the need for thorough inspection, search, and shakedown techniques.

Recording the Police: Last year it was reported at a Chiefs of Police meeting about a scheme where certain people are purposely trying to have encounters with law enforcement officers. These people are wearing hidden microphones and, in one case, a hidden video camera to record the actions of the officer. This has apparently happened in several areas of the state, and at least one of the incidents was depicted on a local television program. It has also been reported that people are using cellular telephones and palm pilots, many of which have recording capabilities, to record encounters with law enforcement. This is brought to your attention not because officers are doing something wrong, but to make you aware of the practice of these persons trying to prod and provoke officers.
