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.

Do most police departments in the US have a K9 unit? Or is it mainly the bigger cities?

Asked by Sam about 10 years ago

I think more than half do. Nearly all have access to one through mutual aid.

In a large city, how many sergeants would be based in a particular station? How many at a time would be on duty?

Asked by Writer23 almost 11 years ago

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.

i had some threatening texts of my half sister, and my mum went to the police about them they asked if i wanted to give a statment but my mum said i dont and not to say anything whats going to happen? will they leave us alone?

Asked by Roxy over 10 years ago

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?

Are there procedures in place that make it so if an officer is in trouble, they can say it on the radio without being blocked by less important use?

Asked by Asd over 10 years ago

Yes.  There are multiple methods.

An off duty cop said my 2 friends were racing just because they were side by side in dropped trucks but he wasnt in his cop car so technically there is no proof what should they do at their court since they were arrested but rights werent read?
