I’m not trying to put you on the spot here AG. Just curious as to how this works out from a LEO perspective…
I'm unaware of any LAW or AGENCY POLICY that would PROHIBIT me from asking for help or accepting offers for help... even from ARMED CITIZENS. In fact, by statutory law, refusing a LAWFUL request for help is a violation of FSS 843.06.

I'm sure we will need an entirely new thread to debate the merits of such a topic...

If, UNDER THE RIGHT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, I encountered an armed citizen who appeared to be capable of helping until more "OFFICIAL" help arrived, I don't think I'd turn the help down. On the other hand, if an elderly citizen who was shaking uncontrollably offered help, I think I'd help them just go to safety.

Now... this thread ought to get really interesting...
