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

Accidents happen and a lot of people mistakenly set off their alarms. However, the officers don't know which alarms are accidents or real until they investigate them. If during the course of that investigation, someone surprises them - well, things might get tense for a few minutes. Calling the PD once you realize a mistake has been made is the best course of action. They can tell you if they want you to go outside, stay inside or whatever.
