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.

In a large city, how many sergeants would be based in a particular station? How many at a time would be on duty?

Asked by Writer23 almost 13 years ago

It is impossible to say.  A department will generally have guidelines regarding manpower as it relates to the call volume or work load of each unit.

Asked by Concerned wife about 12 years ago

I'm afraid your question doesn't make sense.  Can you rephrase it?

I've been seeing a girl and if we have a disagreement she uses her sister's officer position as a shield. Is that legal and what do I do?

Asked by Derrick about 13 years ago

I'm not sure what you mean by "using her sister's officer position as a shield."  Regardless, it would appear you need to find another girlfriend.
