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.
I don't know if there is a law in any of the states specifying what happens to a fallen officer's badge. Typically, this is covered in the department's standard operating procedures. Most departments provide the badge to the next of kin.
I don't know - that is a civil issue.
Depends on the department. There could be a desk officer, detectives and dispatchers in addition to any officers at the station taking a meal break, submitting evidence or completing paperwork. At other departments, there may be no one at the station. It just depends.
While I cannot speak to the precise policy of NYPD, I can say that almost every agency would send an officer to the spouse/family. That's really not news someone should get over the phone, and they aren't likely to be safe to drive themselves to the hospital.

Is it possible to perform CPR on animals?
You need to contact an attorney for clarification. If he has access to them, and since you know he is a felon, then -you- could be exposed to criminal liability.
Blackmail is illegal, regardless of who the victim is. State laws vary on what constitutes blackmail.
Depending on the nature of the photos and how someone came into their possession there could be other criminal activity. For example, did someone hack into your computer and steal data (illegal) or photograph you in a public location (legal)?
Yes. Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.
