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.

Asked by Angela over 11 years ago

Yes. It is called theft.

what happens after a victim reports a domestic violence case but has no proof so it is just settled as a report?

Asked by ashley113 almost 12 years ago

The case remains open but inactive.  Should new evidence be presented in the case (not likely), the case may develop further.

However, the victim can always decide to make a change in his or her life, and even if no arrest is made, there are private and public resources available to help them leave the situation.

When becoming a patrol officer what are some requirements you have to know/do before you are able to get a job as one?

Asked by Randi over 12 years ago

Requirements vary from state to state and department to department.  Generally, you would need a GED or high school diploma, good driving record, and a clean criminal history.  Most departments will also require a physical fitness test, a polygraph, drug testing, a stable employment history, excellent references, a psychological evaluation, some form of IQ or mental abilities test, and a credit check.  Many departments also require an applicant to have two years of college (or more) or military service with an honorable discharge.  The minimum age for employment varies, but is normally 18 or 21 years old.
