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.

Ok, I want you to keep in mind I am from Canada. My uncle was killed in a car accident, Is their anyway for me to get my hands on the report they have, pictures and documents. Dont ask me why but I don't think it was an accident!

Asked by Scott over 12 years ago

I'm sorry for your loss.  If you contact the investigating agency, they will be able to tell you what the procedures are to obtain the information and documents you need.

In other words, if anyone with a license can carry a gun, that gives them the power to kill people. Even if they only use their gun for the right reasons, they still have so much power without necessarily that much training.

Asked by Hello (follow up) over 12 years ago

The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit.  If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay over 12 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement.  Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.

Asked by suzan over 11 years ago

I don't know. You are the one telling the story. I'll assume you are telling the truth.

My wife gave our old car to my brother-in-law. But I want the car and the registration is under her name. How could I get the car? We are still married and he didn't want to give me the car. Should I report to police as stolen car?

Asked by Shwange about 12 years ago

I don't know if you should.  You can certainly call the police and talk to them about your circumstances.

If a person happened upon a murder crime scene, called 911, and stayed until the police arrived. Would an officer take that persons statement at the crime scene or bring them back to the station and take the statement there?

Thanks in advance.

Asked by edwurd about 12 years ago

At the scene.

If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video.  However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary.  If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.
