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.

If you are not an adult, you have to obey your parents. If you leave without permission, you can be detained, returned to your parents or taken to a juvenile detention facility (jail).
If you think there will be a problem, you can call an officer. Keep in mind that officers will not be able to stand by for more than about 15-30 minutes. The department cannot reasonably justify pulling officers away from protecting the public while your roommate packs and moves.
If you want someone to stand by at your residence for a long period of time, you can contract with the agency to provide an off duty police officer for however long you want.
