Seeing a widow sobbing as she is being handed an American flag, neatly folded into a triangle, with her children by her side, is quite possibly one of the most heart-wrenching things one can witness.

Each time I found myself wondering how, if possible, the officer's death could have been prevented.

Today, more than ever, Police Officers across the country and around the world are facing off against subjects armed with knives and edged weapons. Many times these attacks happen suddenly, taking the officer by surprise. In others, the officer responds...

So it is for these Sheepdogs, along with our brave police officers, that we are embarking on this mission. The mission to better equip the Sheepdogs among us with the training, information and equipment they want, need and desire to be better prepared for when evil (the wolf) strikes.

Sadly, many outlets and platforms do not support this kind of information. Some view it as violent and unnecessary. And because of their personal beliefs and stance (and other societal and political factors), they block, remove or otherwise limit the view and/or discovery of such content.

Therefore, the 221B Sheepdog Nexus will be owned, operated and housed exclusively by us. Members only will be granted exclusive access to this content. This will include original 221B content as well as carefully curated content from across the globe by some of the best in the business.
