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.
Its the same as it is for everyone else. Show up and do your job; you'll be fine.

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.

It would be investigated as any other crime.
I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.
Share Answer: 
Officers respond from whereever they are at the moment. They might be eating lunch, driving down the street or submitting evidence at the department. They do not sit around at the PD like the firefighters do.

How much do promo girls at convention booths get paid?
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.

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.

That depends on your jurisdiction. You should contact the local prosecutors office and ask them.
