Miguel Martinez knows what to look for in dangerous situations. At age 17, he knows how to perform a building search, clear a room and handle a weapon. On a recent afternoon, he rattled off the warning signs that someone may be using drugs. "When you think a person is on drugs, you look for eye dilation and heavy breathing," Martinez said. "They also tense up their muscles to try to make them look bigger." Martinez's knowledge comes from experience gained through a program that gets students interested in careers in law enforcement.

Jacob Moser stepped out from the passenger seat of a Charles County Sheriff's Office police cruiser, his right hand gripping the weapon holstered to his hip. His partner, James DeHart, walked cautiously up to the driver's side of a green Ford Mustang convertible, unsure of what this traffic stop would bring. The Mustang had been pulled over for speeding, a violation for which DeHart issued a ticket. But while Moser and DeHart were preoccupied with asking the driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel and telling the vehicle's occupants to turn off the stereo, they missed a bag of drugs by the Mustang's console and a gun in the passenger door panel.
