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.

I am writing a screenplay and I have a few questions:

1. Can a suspect of a murder case that took place 4 years earlier, look at the crime scene photos & the crime scene evidence?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd over 11 years ago

If the case is still open (unsolved), no.  A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime.  Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.

if me and my man break up do i haved to give him the phone he gave me as a gift back????

Does a police station have an onsite medical person like a Nurse in the building?

Thanks

Asked by Edwurd over 11 years ago

Not usually.  A medium to large size jail will typically have medical staff on duty, however.

Hello. I live in an area policed by a county department. But my village has its own small police department of 6 or 5 men. Apparently, it's staffed 24/7. How could shifts possibly be organized to make that possible? (They answer their own calls.)

I don't know.  You should pop in to the local department, introduce yourself and ask.  They might even have a citizens academy where they go over all of the department's functions.

My daughter's friend has been staying with us. She says her mom and brother are abusive and hate her. Her mom tells her she doesn't want to talk to her. Now her mom is coming to get her. I love her being here with us. She is safe and loved. Can I ssn

You want to be extremely careful when getting involved in other people's affairs.  You are only getting one side of things, and she is probably not giving you the entire story.  

If you honestly believe that her mother is abusive, then call the police.  If, on the other hand, you think that it is just a case of a teen who doesn't want to follow house rules, then do not call the police.

You certainly cannot keep her from her mother.

Do the police handle illegal sites, videos on the internet? If so why are there so many sites and videos still up? Is there anything that I can do to stop these things from happening?

Asked by Azzy over 11 years ago

Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet.  Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases.  For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.
