Ask a Police Officer anything

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

Hi I live in a small town with it's own police force. I want to show some thanks to them but I only see them driving by. They don't have any outreach programs. Is waving a good way to show thanks? Or will they think I'm flagging them down for help?

Asked by Robert almost 11 years ago

Waving is a friendly gesture, and is appreciated. If they stop, it is a perfect opportunity to get to know the officer and tell them thank you.

At the beginning of the year I got a MIP misdemeanor down in Florida but paid the fines and got it expunged off of my record. About a week ago I got another one in Michigan. Would this count as my second offense?

I don't know. Contact an attorney in Michigan.

Are police officers trained in emergency vehicle driving as part of their academy training? Or are they only trained if they will be driving a police car?

Asked by Jet almost 11 years ago

I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.

After a suspect is questioned by a Detective, how long is that suspect held for if they are not going to charge him with anything? Is it 24 Hours, 48 Hours? Do they release that suspect(s) right away after questioning?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd almost 11 years ago

If someone is not going to be charged with anything, detectives are not likely to hold the subject for any period of time. States vary on how long an officer has to charge someone (generally 24 or 48 hours).
