At Will Shoots In The Line Of Duty

Well, kind of anyway...At Will Productions received a call from Ron Barber, the owner of In The Line Of Duty located in St. Louis. They're the world leader in law enforcement video and internet training, and provides life-saving programs that help cops do their jobs better and safer.

SC State Trooper Quincy Brown had made a stop for speeding in broad daylight in the parking lot of a convenience store when one of the vehicle's passengers opened fire on him virtually at point-blank range. The entire
incident was caught on cruiser cam. Coupled with At Will's interview of Trooper Brown and b-roll, Ron Barber promises this to be one of the most power law enforcement training programs ever. In the Line of Duty will distribute the program to its police customers worldwide via DVD, streaming video (www.lineofdutylearning.com ), and their new virtual training component (www.vt.lineofdutylearning.com ).

At Will has provided In the Line of Duty quality video production services for years and is the company's South Carolina videographer of record. At Will moved in for a couple of hours utilizing a DVC Pro camera and Kino Flo lighting kit while Barber called in to ask questions via speaker phone. Joe Schmitt also gathered b-roll of bullets that were pulled from the Kevlar vest as well as a mobile radio that was damaged in the shooting. Fortunately the trooper survived, even though now he has a metal plate holding his wrist together. What's important to know is that the trooper relied on his training, kept his cool and the bad guys were quickly apprehended.
