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 garrett almost 13 years ago

The parents should call the police.  You can also call the police.

Asked by Hailey about 12 years ago

It sounds like you should talk to a local police officer or deputy sheriff.  If you do not want to talk to someone in law enforcement, call 211 for a referral to non-law enforcement assistance.  If you are feeling suicidal, please call 1-800-273-8255.

how does policemen help each other

Asked by zay almost 13 years ago

In many different ways.  On duty, the officers can go with one another on dangerous calls or when someone might need extra help.  Off duty, many officers help each other with normal activities such as coaching games for their kids.

Can off duty officer call in on duty officer to issue speeding ticket without showing ID to driver? Can off duty officer leave scene (when on duty office arrives) and not sign ticket. How far does an officer have to track to issue speeding ticket?

Asked by Steve Davis almost 13 years ago

It depends on the laws of your state.  If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)

Is there a way for cops to get old texts that have been deleted?

Asked by Kate about 12 years ago

Yes.  Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.
