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.

Asked by Jay over 11 years ago

I'm not sure if there is a question in there.  However, you have not described anything criminal.  Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

Nice jpg on an opinion blog.  But there is no context to it, and it is therefore meaningless.

Can someone who wears hearing aids become a police officer?

Asked by Oberyn almost 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.
