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.
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. If they allow it, they will describe the process.
No.
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).
Except in unusual circumstances (police funeral, working a disaster, etc.) a detective never wears a uniform. They typically wear business attire.
School Bus Driver
If your bus is in an accident that was ruled your fault, would you lose your job?
Bartender
How often would you date customers?
Border Patrol Agent
Do you ever feel sorry for the illegals you catch trying to cross the border?
By phone is often the easiest for many people. Sometimes walking into the police station is easier.

The Navy is a good way to go. My family has had at least one man in the US Navy continuously since 1943. You definitely want to talk to a recruiter about the asthma, but I don't think it would bar you from service.
