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.

is an officer of the law ever classed as off duty

Asked by kelly fuller almost 12 years ago

Unless he/she is being paid, the officer is off duty.  Different states have differant laws on what authority an off duty officer has.

I am considering going into law enforcement but i want to get a tattoo on my upper arm. If it it slightly visible when wearing short sleeve shirts would it effect me getting a job?

Asked by Jason over 11 years ago

Yep.

Which agency do you think wears the best uniform? I think OSHP, but I'm biased lol. But I will admit to being slightly jealous of the Texas State Troopers who wear those custom Stetson cowboy hats!

Asked by Joe over 11 years ago

Texas Rangers for non-patrol.  LAPD-type for patrol (though with two shoulder patches)

Is there any way I can get into my hometown police academy by expressing to them that I need the job and was made for the job. I have been around drugs and done them and am afraid it will hurt me. I want this with all of my being!!!

You should contact the admissions officer and apply.

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.
