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.

what is the importance of math to a police?

Asked by shun almost 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.

Asked by derika about 11 years ago

If you are not an adult, you have to obey your parents.  If you leave without permission, you can be detained, returned to your parents or taken to a juvenile detention facility (jail).

If a person happened upon a murder crime scene, called 911, and stayed until the police arrived. Would an officer take that persons statement at the crime scene or bring them back to the station and take the statement there?

Thanks in advance.

Asked by edwurd about 11 years ago

At the scene.

If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video.  However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary.  If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.

Asked by nicholas about 11 years ago

You are a child.  Your father has excercised reasonable discipline.  If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.) 

Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.

Lately there has been a lot of Abuse to synthetic cocaine, is there anything that police enforcement can do to get it off market?

Asked by nancy almost 11 years ago

As soon as we figure out how to stop all natural cocaine, we should immediately apply the same strategy to synthetic cocaine.
