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.

I don't want to bother the 911 call If a child is being verbally abused and fiscally occasionally can they call 911 and leave the home?...I need to leave or I will die...

Asked by Samantha. over 11 years ago

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

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.)

Asked by Name about 12 years ago

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.

I don't know. You are the one telling the story. I'll assume you are telling the truth.

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.

Call 911.

I became aware of my husband drinking and driving. I have told him that when I am aware that he is doing this, I will report him (and his car license plate) to the police. He is in denial of his problem. Will I be taken seriously?

Asked by momof3 about 12 years ago

If you are asking will your husband take you seriously, I don't know.  Probably not.  It sounds like he has a lack of regard for the safety of himself and others.  Anything you say is unlikely to get him to change his behavior.

If you are asking will the police dispatcher take you seriously, of course they will.

(Similar question) So after reading your other responses, you clearly oppose gun control. I get it. But just look at this:

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