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.

In tx is the age of consent 17 ? I've looked it up and everywhere it says 17 but this one post said even if they have sex at 17 the other person involved can still get in trouble if older

Asked by Dershowitz over 11 years ago

I don't know.  Contact a police or sheriff's department in Texas.

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 over 11 years ago

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

Asked by willie over 11 years ago

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

What are the typical questions a person would ask a murder suspect in an interrogation room?

Thanks

Asked by edwurd over 11 years ago

It depends on the circumstances.  Detectives go through a lot of training to learn how to interview people and how to investigate homicides.  It is far to in-depth of a question for me to answer.

Don't be afraid - you are being scammed.

How do you become a K-9 officer? what can i do to prepare in highschool? is there any collage classes i am required to take?

Asked by Ann over 11 years ago

To be a K-9 handler you will need to be in great shape.  I daresay that handlers have to be in better shape than the average SWAT cop because they (the handler) is often running through the dark every night chasing his/her dog who is chasing a suspect.  Then the handler has to be able to fight once the suspect is located.  Imagine running three miles and then getting into a fight for your life.  You need a lot of cardio work to get ready for that.

I'd suggest being involved in sports and finding a local explorer unit to join would be the best two things to do now.  College classes are completely up to you.  Other than certain federal agencies, I'm not aware of any department that requires any specific major or classes in college.
