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.

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.

How can my father become my legal guardian if I'm 15 and no longer want to stay with my mother.

Call the police.

what does the first responding office do when they arrive at a crime?

Asked by cutiepie18 about 11 years ago

Every scene is different.  If the crime is in progress, stopping the criminal from hurting others is the first priority.  If the crime is not in progress (or once the criminal has been stopped), providing aid to injured people is the highest priority.

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 almost 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.
