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.

Which agency do you think wears the best uniform? I think OSHP, but I'm biased lol. But I will admit to being slightly jealous of the Texas State Troopers who wear those custom Stetson cowboy hats!

Asked by Joe about 11 years ago

Texas Rangers for non-patrol.  LAPD-type for patrol (though with two shoulder patches)

Would getting a degree in forensic science be useful for policing? I hear that everything you need to know will be taught during the academy? THX for your time.

Asked by Jimmy over 10 years ago

A forensic science degree may be useful for certain specialized duties.  The academy teaches the absolute basics needed to begin a policing career.  It does not teach you everything you need to know.  It is a starting point only.

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.

What courses, should I take in high school, to get into law enforcement?

Asked by Junior over 10 years ago

Talk to your guidance counselor on what options are available at your school.  You want to make sure you have a solid background in english, math and science.  Sports are also something you should be involved in.  If there is a law enforcement explorers unit in your area, you should check it out.

If someone is being abused, please call 911.  If you are suicidal, please call 911.

Should I report that three vehicles at different times in a gym parking lot will follow me home? I was able to get their license plate numbers. There has been a strange man who does not like that I work out there! This is a somewhat small town in WI,

Asked by Jane over 10 years ago

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
