I am getting ph calls from silent number what do I need too do to stop it it has happened before

Asked by Debbie almost 11 years ago

Call the phone company.

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 about 11 years ago

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

Asked by edwurd about 11 years ago

Except in unusual circumstances (police funeral, working a disaster, etc.) a detective never wears a uniform. They typically wear business attire.

When police officers graduate the academy, do they go through a period where they are always with a more experienced officer, or are they trained enough to start off on their own?

Asked by Jacob about 11 years ago

New officers go through a period of on the job training called Field Training. Experienced officers with specialized training take new officers and teach them how to employ the things they learned at the academy in the real world. This is also a time when the new officer is closely watched in an effort to determine if they are a good officer/person or if they should be terminated because they are unfit for the job.

What offense or violation would land someone only a 3 month sentence in prison maximum? One of my friends says he went to jail for 3 months but when we ask what he did, silence. I think he's lying. Help a gal win a bet here. Thanks. :-)

Asked by Kali over 11 years ago

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months. So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.
