Description
The Bootleg position is the name I have given
this weapon placement position. Officers will, for
a variety or reasons, pull their weapon from their
holster and place it behind their strong thigh so
it is not readily visible, but it is readily
available. Because it is used by street officers
the movement of the weapon from behind the thigh to
the common firing positions was measured. The
officers were instructed to place the weapon in
position behind the thigh and when a buzzer went
off, to as quickly as they could, raise the weapon
to an extended arm, firing position, get a sight
picture and fire one round
