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.
Yes.
No idea - I didn't work at one of those departments.
I would sincerely hope that people were not promoted based on a test score, but when you mix government and unions and there is rarely any room for common sense.
Promotion should be based on ability. Most tests are only analyzing a person's ability to memorize a set of facts.
Ask me a serious question.
I don't know why you would call the police for "noise and construction violations." If the neighbor is playing the stereo too loud, I'll just walk over and talk to him. If he is building something on his property that I don't like - well, that's my problem. It is HIS property and he can do what he wants to with it. Try talking to your neighbor and not calling the police for non-criminal matters.

Ok. I hope you are not looking for someone to hand you a wad of money because you want something. That's not how life works.
Probably not. Laws vary from state to state, but law enforcement has no duty to protect you. Law enforcement has a duty to provide general protection to a community, but not to individuals. Most (all?) states provide a sex offender database online that you can access to check things for yourself. For example, this is the one in Florida: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/
