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.

Asked by sydney about 12 years ago

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database.  If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

What courses, should I take in high school, to get into law enforcement?

Asked by Junior almost 12 years ago

Talk to your guidance counselor on what options are available at your school.  You want to make sure you have a solid background in english, math and science.  Sports are also something you should be involved in.  If there is a law enforcement explorers unit in your area, you should check it out.
