Awhile back one south Texas police department put on a course specifically for CHLs, partly at least because they figured sooner or later their paths would cross during an incident, and the cops thought it would be better if both sides understood each other a little bit better, and they were perfectly willing to accept help where they could get it. It was a pretty interesting course.

One of the instructors said he was was quite happy to get citizen help if he was getting his butt kicked by someone, and related how this had happened when he was young patrolman. It was a domestic disturbance call, he was alone, his radio wasn't getting out, and he could not get a very large angry woman under control. In fact, he was getting a bit thrashed in the process. Finally a neighbor came over and helped him subdue her. He made it sound pretty funny when he told it, but it sounded like it was a bit desperate at the time.
