Anyone subscribe or read any issues of this? If so, what do you think?

I like a good magazine with worthwhile articles on things I'm likely to come in contact with or likely to purchase.

That being said, I hate Guns & Ammo, but like American Handgunner. Don't really know why or the differences that make me hate G&A so much.
I renewed my American Handgunner subscription and will never purchase another G&A mag.

I've been a subscriber since it started. I used to get POLICE magazine, but I realized the articles were geared toward adminstraters. Things like deciding on fleet vehicles, department weapons, purchasing this, that, and the other thing.
It wasn't for the lower echelon of cops.

It's pretty good; I'm a subscriber and have been since it started. The articles are a little rough sometimes but I think that's just because it's still getting on its feet in terms of editing and such. I think once it gets more settled in the different facets it wants to contain it'll be a more consistently good read.

I'd recommend a subscription, yeah.

Its a good mag, but I really could care less on some of the topics that dont relate to policing. I get all the mags I can find and read them all, don't forget to write them off as a business expense.

I've been a subscriber to Police for about three years. Don't know when you read your last issue, but I find the stuff in there really useful - wish I had had something like this when I was active on the job. There's all kinds of legal advise and case studies on things we used to worry about every day.

The case studies are interesting and leave you with a set of lessons learned.

Try it again - the slant may have changed since the last time you saw it.

I inadvertently bought a subscription online while trying to purchase a subscription to another gun magazine. When I got my first issue, I almost called to cancel, that I had made a mistake. Then I read the issues cover to cover. I have had my subscription for about a year now.
