Shuttle suffers gouge on heat shield

To the sales department; My name is Paul A. SEMLER, I am a Pennsylvania State Trooper stationed in a rural area in the Pocono Mnts. Of northeast Penna. Two years ago, while at a local police supply store, STARR UNIFORM, Sam STARR gave me a QuiqLite. On Monday 03/06/2006, on my 1300--2100 shift, I assisted a fellow trooper with a hit and run crash with injuries. After clearing from the scene of the crash, the investigating trooper along with another trooper and myself checked the surrounding area. Approximately 20 minutes after clearing the scene, the investigating trooper spotted the suspect vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. As usual the suspect fled and the pursuit was on. After approx. 20 min., the suspect jumped out of the moving vehicle and fled on foot. After I arrived at this location, we began a search of the surrounding area. The suspect was familiar with the area and fled across a frozen pond and into a wooded area. Myself and three other officers tracked the suspect in snow and across a stream, for three hours. During the search I went through (4) flashlights. 2 STINGERS and 2 MINI MAGS. During this time every time I ran out of light, my Blue QuiqLite continued to work; I was able to continue to locate the suspect’s footprints in the snow, and continued the search.  Unfortunately at midnight we lost the tracks in a heavy brier patch. Even though we were unable to catch the suspect that night, I was very impressed with the way the Blue light worked on the snow and allowed me to keep tracking. I had never used the light other then while looking at documents while on traffic stops or while sitting in my patrol car. Thanks I will be telling many coworkers how good it was to have the little light. TPR. PAUL A. SEMLER PATROL UNIT TROOP R HONESDALE PENNSYLVANNIA STATE POLICE
