Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

Asked by wolfgirl about 12 years ago

Online fraud cases are pretty easy to trace and prove, even when people use VPNs, proxies, etc.  Offline fraud is even easier.  Don't expect me to tell you how.  

If a police officer is called out several times for the same incident, should a police report be made out for each occasion? Are there any rules for that? Mind you, the offender has never been around, when the officer has shown up.

Asked by Clayboo about 12 years ago

Department policies dictate when a report will be filed by a police officer.

Generally:  The same incident will generate only one report.  Multiple incidents of the same nature, by the same subject may generate more than one report depending on the circumstances.

I mean that they have a history of violence. I know a friend that if she gets pulled over before the officer gets out of the car they have to call backup on her. I don't really understand why it happens. Its just something that made me curious.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about your friend or the specific circumstances.

You should probably contact a family attorney in Utah.  

Does having tattoos affect your chances on becoming a officer? And what if im thinkin about becoming an officer and joining the navy reserve's?

Asked by Michelle about 12 years ago

Different departments have different regulations regarding tattoos.  Many have in place policies prohibiting visible tattoos, while others have policies about the kinds or locations of tattoos (nothing obscene, nothing on the face or neck, etc.)  The more visible tattoos you have, the fewer agencies that will employ you.  Something under your shirt, on your back, etc. will not hurt you.

Being a member of the US Navy Reserve will greatly enhance your application and overall success in a law enforcement agency.

my 15yr old daughter does not want to come home she wants to stay at her boyfriends house and the boyfriends mother is not realy helping she allows her to stay at her house and it is making it easy for my daughter to be there what can i do about this

Asked by renee almost 12 years ago

If you know where she is, go get her.  If another adult is interfering with the custody of your child, that could be a crime & feel free to call the local law enforcement agency.

If she refuses to come home and you don't know where she is, you can report her as a runaway.
