what does the first responding office do when they arrive at a crime?

Asked by cutiepie18 over 11 years ago

Every scene is different. If the crime is in progress, stopping the criminal from hurting others is the first priority. If the crime is not in progress (or once the criminal has been stopped), providing aid to injured people is the highest priority.

When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Asked by notacop about 11 years ago

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.

Are you getting paid to answer this Q&A, or volunteering? Also, have you seen the show Alaska State Troopers? My dad and I watch the show (he's OSHP), and every time he watches it, he tells me that he wants to lateral over there.

No, I am not paid to participate here. I don't think I've seen the Alaska Satte Trooper show. I tend to avoid cop programs.

Would getting a degree in forensic science be useful for policing? I hear that everything you need to know will be taught during the academy? THX for your time.

Asked by Jimmy about 11 years ago

A forensic science degree may be useful for certain specialized duties. The academy teaches the absolute basics needed to begin a policing career. It does not teach you everything you need to know. It is a starting point only.

Lately there has been a lot of Abuse to synthetic cocaine, is there anything that police enforcement can do to get it off market?

Asked by nancy almost 11 years ago

As soon as we figure out how to stop all natural cocaine, we should immediately apply the same strategy to synthetic cocaine.
