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.

Don't be afraid - you are being scammed.

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.  

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.

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

Is it possible to become a police officer with an Environmental Science degree?

Asked by Molly P almost 11 years ago

Yes.

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 over 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.

As for the noise violation (which is against the law), they have to excuse to not respond because there is nothing else that they're doing. The last misdemeanor/felony in the area was 2 years ago...

Asked by Jackson about 11 years ago

1.  Noise violations are not crimes.

2.  Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.

3.  Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.

4.  Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.

I feel sorry for your neighbor.
