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.

Yes - Every citizen is entitled to self-defense, including the use of deadly force when they are in reasonable fear for their life or the life of another person. What difference does it make if they use a firearm, knife, baseball bat or their own hands/feet? The difference is that the weak can defend themselves from stronger, younger predators. No law abiding citizen should be disbarred the use of arms for the defense of themselves and their family.

"Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself."
Bonus points for anyone who knows from where that quote derives.
Share Answer: 
It depends. Some small agencies will work off of a county channel. Others will handle the dispatching, but the county will handle the 911 call answering. Others will have a full 911 center (take the emergency calls and dispatch.) I hate to say "it depends" so much, but things vary a lot.
