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.

That depends on your jurisdiction.  You should contact the local prosecutors office and ask them.

Would a Detective wear street clothes to a crime scene or would he/she wear full blue police uniform?

Also, would a detective wear street clothes at the office (Police Station) or wear a full blue police uniform?

Thanks in advance

Asked by edwurd over 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 did you know you wanted to be a police officer? Was it a childhood dream?

Asked by 2014 over 11 years ago

I was in college and was not happy in the aerospace engineering program I was in.  I explored the possibility of police work, and after riding a few shifts with officers, I decided to go into law enforcement.

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?

Asked by Rob Parker over 11 years ago

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

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 almost 12 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.

I was driving through a private parking lot, & received a ticket from a City PO, for failure to yield to a pedestrian. I had stopped and looked, and did not go until I saw the pedestrian stop and wait, before he even got to the crosswalk. What to do?

Asked by Kayla almost 12 years ago

You can pay the ticket or go to court and have a trial.
