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.

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.

Okay I guess I should tell my parents. But when I do, what's the next step? I mean I more concerned about them than me. I understand what it means to drink. Does what they are doing violate "Social Host" laws?

Asked by Julian almost 11 years ago

I don't know what a 'social host' law is.  However, your parents should be able to provide you guidance on what you should and should not do.  Good luck.

Is calling someone fake on Instagram a form of cyber bulling? Or a donkey?

Asked by Kennedi over 10 years ago

I'm not about to make a judgement call on what is or is not a violation of some state's laws on cyber bullying.  However, I would encourage you and everyone else to (1) ignore other people's hurtful words and (2) if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.
