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.

Nope.

How long does it take for a officer to wright a report

Asked by Jamiyssalinn@gmail.com over 11 years ago

It depends on the report.

What would the cops do if a teenager beat another teenager with a baseball bat in broad daylight, with a nearby security guard as a witness to the crime?

Asked by Jessie over 11 years ago

It depends on what the investigation revealed.  Was it an assault or self-defense?  Since I was not there and did not conduct the investigation, it is impossible for me to say what the best action should be for the officers to take.

Do unmarked cars usually have a way of showing that they are the police without full emergency lights? (For example, if they want people to see them if they need help.) Also, are there common instances where something like this is used?

Asked by Roger over 11 years ago

It varies from state to state. 

Somebody I know who lives in Michigan just told me he wanted to end his life. I don't know where he lives or any information about him where I can call somebody to tell them. I live in Toronto and feel like Im out of control with this situation

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

I want to become a police officer one day, but i don't know where to start. I am 19 and attending a community college right now.

Asked by Jack over 11 years ago

Contact the local police department recruiter.  He or she should be able to help.

My DUI trial was postponed 5 times. The cop didn't show on the 5th and I was in detox which my lawyer forgot to mention resulting in a warrant so it was clearly scheduled. Why would he not have shown and what are his chances of showing to the next?

Asked by Ron almost 12 years ago

I don't know; I am not a mind reader.  It is possible that the court has failer to subpoena him/her properly.  He/She might be out on medical leave.  (etc, etc, etc)  It seems to me that the real question should be why can't your defense attorney tell you what's going on?
