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.

if you got caught in a parking lot "parking" and you didnt sign a paper or anything does that show up on a record anywhere?

Asked by sydney over 11 years ago

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database.  If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

I have had a roommate since february of 2014. He is now moving out due to some disagreement and false statements. Show I call an officer to my house today, since he is moving out and make sure there is no physical disagreements?

Asked by Katherine over 11 years ago

If you think there will be a problem, you can call an officer.  Keep in mind that officers will not be able to stand by for more than about 15-30 minutes.  The department cannot reasonably justify pulling officers away from protecting the public while your roommate packs and moves.

If you want someone to stand by at your residence for a long period of time, you can contract with the agency to provide an off duty police officer for however long you want.

what is the importance of math to a police?

Asked by shun over 11 years ago

Math is important for a variety of reasons.  Everything from budgeting to accident reconstruction requires math.  Street officers investigating any number of financial crimes have to be able to do simple to advanced math.

Can someone who wears hearing aids become a police officer?

Asked by Oberyn over 11 years ago

Yes.  Some departments may not allow it, but I know of some that do.  Check with the recruiter at the agency you apply to.

If I were to be physically assaulted by a group of guys as a junior at school, suffer from a back eye, minor concussion, and a cracked rib, along with we bruising, what would happen if I reported it in a police station with my boyfriend?

Asked by Jada over 11 years ago

It would be investigated as any other crime.

I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.

Are you getting paid to answer this Q&A, or volunteering? Also, have you seen the show Alaska State Troopers? My dad and I watch the show (he's OSHP), and every time he watches it, he tells me that he wants to lateral over there.

Asked by Joe almost 12 years ago

No, I am not paid to participate here.  I don't think I've seen the Alaska Satte Trooper show.  I tend to avoid cop programs.

Me and my friend have always wanted to get cuffed to see how it feels so can we ask a police to cuff us for a second

You can ask, but don't expect to get a positive reaction.
