“I approached the woods with the TacSight and almost immediately spotted something that looked real bright, like a bright light. I stopped there, and I gave voice commands to Johnson and Dove to lead them to where the man was hiding, about 35 to 40 yards into the woods.”

Let me be the first to say it: firefighters are in the thermal imaging game for an entirely different reason than police officers ... In law enforcement operations, we’re not concerned about “heat signatures” or “heat measurement;” we’re concerned about what is thermally visible.

You already realize that no one is out there just trying to throw money at you, but that there IS money being given to departments all around you ... There are a number of basic but very important actions you can take to be successful in pursuit of any of these grants. The key here is that all of these - and most other grants, public or private, are looking for the same information.

If your thermal imager produced this image, how would you respond?
