Police takedowns can be risky business, especially when criminals are armed and dangerous; that's why officers rely on non-lethal tactics like tasers, bean bag rounds, and K-9 units to subdue suspects when things get a little too close for comfort.

Dashcam use continues to rise, catching even more unbelievable vehicle events; semi-trucks wreak havoc on roadways; criminals flee cops in pursuit; crashes, collisions and cars flying through the air.

Security cameras in front yards, backyards, storefronts and street corners capture crimes, mishaps and earth-shattering moments like break-ins. When lives are at risk, it is up to local law enforcement and communities to save the day.

Convicts making last efforts to break free when their hands are tied; whether a crook on trial or an inmate with a corrections officer, handcuffs, cops and prison walls won't stop this guys from their scaping attempts.

Some DIYers have to learn the hard way. Call the pros instead!

Uncharted wilderness and untamed backcountry full of rugged terrain and wild inhabitants; police officers surviving and thriving as they take down criminals, prevent catastrophes and save lives.
