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.
Running finger prints is one way to possibly ID a corpse. Keep in mind that someone would have had to have been finger printed so be "in the system."
Some states have a DNA registry for sexual predators, which may be a way of ID-ing a corpse if it was someone convicted of rape, molestation or a similar crime.
Follow the advice of the officers who responded to the incident when you called them.
Probably - It depends on the crime and the laws of your state.
Sounds like a civil issue with no criminal aspect. Call an attorney for advice on a civil remedy.
Car Salesman
Are women more likely to get taken advantage of when buying a car?
Border Patrol Agent
Do Mexican authorities help on THEIR side of the border?
Casting Director
Are the melt-down auditions on American Idol staged?
"spade" - I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Oh, and your premise is false.
Yes, call the department he/she works for to confirm his/her identity. It could be a scam.
Only you can make the decision on what to do. If you want to be a police officer, be a police officer. If money is a motivating factor, try private enterprise. Neither the Navy nor police work is a path to riches. If a LT's salary is considered "high," you might be surprised at what is available if you started your own business or used your degree & experience to land a good career in the private sector.
If you are looking for the best salary in law enforcement, take a look at the federal agencies. Local departments in the northeast and west coast pay the best, but also have outrageous taxes and costs of living.
