What should I do if I hear that kids my age (13) have drank shots and so have their friends? I think their parents supplied the vodka. I don't know if I have the confidence or sufficient evidence to report them. (To be continued)

If I were to be physically assaulted by a group of guys as a junior at school, suffer from a back eye, minor concussion, and a cracked rib, along with we bruising, what would happen if I reported it in a police station with my boyfriend?

Asked by Jada over 10 years ago

It would be investigated as any other crime.

I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.

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.

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay almost 11 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement. Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.

Is there truth to the stereotypes of “pageant parents?”

Hi. I'm 15 and I'm really interested in becoming a police officer. But I have straight-As in school and I hate to say it but I feel like no one with my grades would become a police officer. Any advice? Have you known officers that were very academic?

Asked by Phillip almost 11 years ago

I'm not sure why you would think that. Getting good grades is very important if you want to be a police officer.

I went to a well known university to be an aerospace engineer (you know, a rocket scientist.) I determined engineering wasn't much of a challenge and discovered law enforcement was a far more challenging career.

Fortunately, I am not the only guy to make good grades to go into law enforcement. In the states I have worked (Georgia and Florida), most of the officers I have met/worked with are much brighter than the general public. You have to be intelligent and quick thinking to do the job. Idiots should not apply.

Do morons get into law enforcement? Sometimes. But, most of them are weeded out during training. The few that are left tend to get promoted rapidly.

I'm a bit perplexed by anyone who thinks that no one smart goes into public safety (or the military.) I guess it is watching too many movies.

I need to talk to a cop not to submit a crime but to see if this is a crime or to much punishment for my age.

Asked by Daisie over 10 years ago

Ok. Call your local police department and ask for their assistance.
