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.

Are Domestic violence "warning signs" considered something that should be brought to a police officer's attention?

If you believe a crime has been committed, I would encourage you to contact the police.

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 over 11 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.

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

In response to my first question what makes you do it every day?

Asked by Emily almost 11 years ago

The desire to help people - to make a difference.  All of those things I mentioned above suck the life out of you.  But with good friends, family and faith in God supporting you, the job can be done.

There were many times that I was going to a call that I would have preferred avoid, but I knew I had the skills and disposition to handle it.  Who wants to go to the call where a man just committed suicide in front of his wife by sticking a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger?  No one.  But, as I often questioned myself, "if not me, then who?"

There are upsides to the job, though they are rarely visible to, or understood by, anyone outside of law enforcement. 

Blue Sheep dog, I was charged for a crime I didn't commit. I was 16/17 when I was charged for sexual assault on a minor, after a few court visits right before the big one she came clean and said she lied is this on my Criminal record?

Asked by Big T about 11 years ago

Possibly.  You likely can get this sealed, but you should contact a local attorney.
