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.

Hello, I was wondering about the illegal weapons in NY? Is a Sai illegal in New York State?

Asked by Collin about 11 years ago

I don't know.  I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state.  NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.

How can I track my phone that is stolen?

Asked by Kumanan about 11 years ago

If it has already been stolen, and you have not proactively installed tracking software, you are probably out of luck.  You might want to check some of the tech sites for additional information.  Alternatively, you could call the NSA and ask for help, but they might not appreciate the call.

If you have not lost your phone, try installing one of these programs...

Does being Bilingual help when applying to a police force?

Asked by Mackenzie almost 11 years ago

Yes.

Are there procedures that police officers use that are wrong according to their training (not "textbook" perfect) but are still used because they are more convenient and/or make more sense?

Asked by Jes over 10 years ago

Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction.  Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
