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.
Ask me a serious question.
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.
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.
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.

Are professors really subject to the "Publish or Perish" policy?Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
No. Call your cell provider.
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.
