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.

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

I have been in and aced both Psychology and Law Enforcement in my High School. I am considering going to college to study law. The only problem is that it seems like a depressing job. Is there any fun to be had as a Police Officer? Or is it all bad?

Asked by Trent about 12 years ago

There are a lot of good aspects to being a police officer.  If you are interested in the job, I highly recommend doing a ride-along with a few different departments and see what the job is like.

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.

Asked by anomyous over 11 years ago

You should contact the local police department.  I am not an active officer, nor is this a law enforcement agency.  Dial 911 if there is a true emergency.

Hey, thanks for all the time you take to answer! You mentioned you avoid police shows? Is there any reason why? Also Is this a common thing in law enforcement?

Asked by Ali G almost 12 years ago

When I did the job for 8-12 hours a day, I had no interest in watching more of it on the tv.  

Besides, the way the editors cut the reality shows like Cops up to make them fit between commercials is not realistic.  You only see a fraction of a case, say 10 minutes of something that took the officers hourse to resolve.  It might be exciting, but it builds a very unrealistic expecation in the public.

Oh, and about 95% of what you see in CSI is b.s.  I can't tell you how many times I had someone tell me to do something impossible that they saw in that show.
