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.
Maybe. Consider, however, that your lack of experience may have an impact on your credibility both with the agencies you are providing training to and to the courts when you and they are sued for wrongful use of force. (Yes - even when you do everything correctly, you will get sued and have to defend yourself in court.)
It depends on the situation.
Nothing is going to happen if you don't do anything. Why contact the police if you don't want to cooperate with the investigation?
Reasons vary. Some jurisdictions require a police response. Other times, medical responders might request law enforcement due to potential problems or safety concerns. Police officers typically have some level of medical training, so they might be dispatched to the scene to help render aid until paramedics can respond. In some jurisdictions, officers are cross trained as paramedic/firefighters.
Aircraft Mechanic
Did you ever catch something critical right before a plane was about to take off?
Professional Bull Rider
Have you been seriously injured while bull-riding?
Day Trader
In trading, does an educated person have an advantage over an uneducated one?
Ok. I hope you are not looking for someone to hand you a wad of money because you want something. That's not how life works.
Probably not. Laws vary from state to state, but law enforcement has no duty to protect you. Law enforcement has a duty to provide general protection to a community, but not to individuals. Most (all?) states provide a sex offender database online that you can access to check things for yourself. For example, this is the one in Florida: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/
I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.
