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.

Do adhd people have the right to own weaponry

Asked by tank over 11 years ago

Unless they have been adjudicated to be mentally ill, then probably.  Laws vary from state to state, and many states ignore the Second Amendment anyway.  So, check your local laws and don't take legal advice (which this is not) from a guy on the internet.

Asked by smiley956956 over 11 years ago

I have no clue as to what you are talking about.  The application of punctuation may help, but I don't think so.

If you were involved in an accident, you might want to contact a civil attorney.

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

Yes.

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.

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.

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