We had some incidents at my hotels this past weekend, I met with a Sgt. Detective yesterday. She was returning some stolen/recovered property. She had to ask to borrow a pen to fill out the release form. A Sgt. Detectove that doesn't have a pen with her????

Easy enough to explain. Last person she let borrow her pen took it, her pen ran out of ink, ball point 'froze,' etc al.Some Kind of Commando Leader

No Pen? No Big Deal.
As a young Det.Sgt. I once showed up at a bank robbery without a gun. I had been in the office and ran out the door without my gun that was secured in the gun locker.
Normally that would not be a problem - except when the robber was caught he gave a statement that he was on a rooftop overlooking an alley and saw me and another officer walking in the alley. He stated that if we turned around and spotted him he was going to shoot us. He was armed with a 44 magnum. I received a three day suspension.
Lesson learned.

Seriously though, I carry one of those Fisher space pens everywhere with me...3.5 inches closed, it just hides unobtrusively in my pocket. Someone asked me why I had a pen and an LED flashlight in my pockets once. They ride everywhere with me, along with my CCW weapon of choice and a folding pocketknife or multi-tool.
My reply was also in the form of a question:
How many times have you needed your CCW piece versus how many times you've needed a flashlight or pen?
Be prepared, it's the Boy Scout marching song.

I can relate. So now, keeping with the seven P's principle (Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Pi$$ Poor Performance) I TRY make it a point to have at least 2 pens on me at all times, at work one in my shirt and another in my left pants pocket. Adopting a no "pen borrowing" policy is also an option, although somewhat anal retentive. I remember the old show "the Commish" with Tony Scali, who was always borrowing a pen...
Keep in mind also that pens are another way to transfer germs from one person to another too.I'm the guy you don't want to be around when your doing something wrong, but you can't wait for me to get there when your down, to fix you up...
