Nice carry meet, small intimate group of 3 OC'rs with spouse and children along, E-checks were friendly and cordial. Answered some curious questions from citizens and recieved accolades from some who knew about OC and supported what we were doing. No negative interactions no one ran screaming, nobody feinted.
Interesting side note, Seems a trend amongst LE (at least La Mesa PD) is to focus and zero in on the first OC'r they see and not be aware of their surroundings. 3 LEO's cue in on 1 of us and approached and conducted one E-check, but all 3 LEO's were so tunnel visioned NONE of them noticed 2 other OC'rs less than 10 feet away just observing. Even when they left the area, they didnt cue in that their was more than one of us.
This is the second time this happend in the same city same street, same beat area.
Appears that sometimes situational awareness gets blinded, perhaps more training or experience is needed, they all looked like pretty young LEO's. Coopers color chart refresher perhaps.
