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.
I believe all states require a police officer to be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or GED as an absolute minimum. Most departments have more requirements than that (21+, college or military) to be employed.
I would suggest getting involved in the Explorers program at your local department. It is perfect for someone who is still in high school.

It is impossible to say. A department will generally have guidelines regarding manpower as it relates to the call volume or work load of each unit.
Share Answer: 
Nothing is going to happen if you don't do anything. Why contact the police if you don't want to cooperate with the investigation?
Share Answer: 
I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.
