How are police radio channels used? It seems like if officers are just patrolling, then one dispatcher could handle like 50 units on one channel. But if there's something going on, how is people cutting each other out avoided?

Asked by Name over 11 years ago

Essentially, officers take turns. It is a team sport and everyone has to share the radio. Many agencies have more than one channel, so when something comes up, officers can move to different channels if needed. But fundamentally, everyone has to take turns and officers give right of way to anyone that has emergency or urgent traffic.

I have a friend who has police officers going around town saying she is a drug addict and that she goes out of town to buy drugs and brings them back to sale. I have known this woman for a long time and this is not true.

Asked by wolfgirl over 11 years ago

Get one or don't get one; I don't much care. I thought perhaps you felt bad about being a thief and wanted to take responsibility for your actions.

Hello,
I was wonder if you can be an undercover FBI agent or similar but undercover and a doctor at the same time. I love doing investigation but at the same time being a doctor.

Asked by Saad Muhammad almost 11 years ago

Both are full time jobs and it is not reasonable to do both. You can be an MD working for the FBI in a variety of capacities, though endercover work is not likely to be one of them.

What's the best way to know if housing prices are going to rise or fall?

A big police station will have some interview rooms, meeting rooms, and rooms dedicated to different teams such as a gang unit room. What will a typical small police station have? (What is the minimum?)

Asked by Ryan almost 11 years ago

There is no minimum standard. It depends on the size of the building and the needs of the agency. It may have dozens of rooms with lots of specialized spaces or just a single desk.

So if you find a dead body, and you don't know the victims name. Can't you just take a blood sample and run it through the system or finger prints.

Asked by person over 10 years ago

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.
