Today we remember LVMPD Corrections Officer James Walter Harbin III, who died on this day in 1979.

Officer Harbin joined the Department on February 7, 1979. On March 18, 1979, only six and a half weeks after he was hired, Harbin was shot and killed in a convenience store robbery. He had stopped at the store en route to work. The store clerk tried to warn him of the robbery in progress. The suspect mistook Harbin’s corrections uniform for that of a police officer’s and shot him. The suspect was later apprehended after holding police at bay for several hours.

Harbin was only 22 years old when he died and was survived by his parents.

We will never forget.

Last week, we got to train with a swing shift patrol squad from the Bolden Area Command.

It is vital for street cops to learn new techniques and maintain proficiency in dealing with persons who resist an officer or are physically combative.

We are fortunate to have Executive Director Chad Lyman, who is not only a cop but a recognized expert in the mixed martial arts community.

The LVPPA is equipped with a mat room, and we provide free training twice a week to our members. Chad also works with squads such as this one that choose to spend a training day working on physical combatives.

There is no question that this skill set allows an officer to be more confident and capable. You can never train too hard for a job that can kill you.

Thank you, BAC, for hanging with us. If you want to arrange squad-level training, reach out. If you are interested in participating in our free training sessions, come try it. No experience is required, and it’s cops working with cops.

As always, stay safe.
