I'm not sure if there is a question in there. However, you have not described anything criminal. Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

I have had a roommate since february of 2014. He is now moving out due to some disagreement and false statements. Show I call an officer to my house today, since he is moving out and make sure there is no physical disagreements?

Asked by Katherine almost 12 years ago

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.

School record - probably. If you were charged with something, then criminal record - yes.

I am writing a screenplay and I have a few questions:

1. Can a suspect of a murder case that took place 4 years earlier, look at the crime scene photos & the crime scene evidence?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd about 12 years ago

If the case is still open (unsolved), no. A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime. Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.

Can someone who wears hearing aids become a police officer?

Asked by Oberyn about 12 years ago

Yes. Some departments may not allow it, but I know of some that do. Check with the recruiter at the agency you apply to.

Are the police that respond to 911 calls usually patrolling before they are called to a scene, or do they sometimes leave from the police station like firefighters do?

I'm assuming that smaller departments might do the second one more often?

Asked by Roger almost 12 years ago

Officers respond from whereever they are at the moment. They might be eating lunch, driving down the street or submitting evidence at the department. They do not sit around at the PD like the firefighters do.
