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 Jinu18 about 12 years ago

I don't know.  I did a lot of things as a cop, but I was never a K9 handler.

In other words, if anyone with a license can carry a gun, that gives them the power to kill people. Even if they only use their gun for the right reasons, they still have so much power without necessarily that much training.

Asked by Hello (follow up) over 12 years ago

The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit.  If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.  

 

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay over 12 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement.  Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.

Ok, I want you to keep in mind I am from Canada. My uncle was killed in a car accident, Is their anyway for me to get my hands on the report they have, pictures and documents. Dont ask me why but I don't think it was an accident!

Asked by Scott over 12 years ago

I'm sorry for your loss.  If you contact the investigating agency, they will be able to tell you what the procedures are to obtain the information and documents you need.

What should I do if I hear that kids my age (13) have drank shots and so have their friends? I think their parents supplied the vodka. I don't know if I have the confidence or sufficient evidence to report them. (To be continued)

Asked by Julian over 12 years ago

see my answer in the follow up question

Are the police that respond to 911 calls usually patrolling before they are called to a scene, or do they sometimes leave from the police station like firefighters do?

I'm assuming that smaller departments might do the second one more often?

Asked by Roger about 12 years ago

Officers respond from whereever they are at the moment.  They might be eating lunch, driving down the street or submitting evidence at the department.  They do not sit around at the PD like the firefighters do.
