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 susana almost 12 years ago

If she is unwilling to contact local police for assistance, she can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233 for confidential assistance.

Hello I am in Florida also, and two brothers (out of three) keep calling and harassing my 86 year old mother to let my dad come back from the nursing home to her house, he has CHF and cannot walk well. As h her POA, what can I do?

Asked by Susan almost 12 years ago

If you are unable to work things out inside the family, you might want to contact a family law attorney.

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 about 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.

please read and help me and my family this abuse is real and very serious they keep threatening me to kidnap me and they try and kill me daily believe me I would have ran away but THEY GOT MY FAMILY
Have you heard of the problem??? I am anomyou

Asked by anomyous about 12 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.

Another question is, can I report license number if I see somebody texting?

Also, when a person is driving in a poor manner (e.g. speeding and moving from lane to lane with no care of those around him/her).

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez almost 12 years ago

You can call. Please don't cause an accident by calling while driving to report someone else on their phone while driving.

Is it possible for me to buy a ATV and make it street legal?

Asked by Tanner almost 12 years ago

Possibly. Try contacting the state patrol for information.
