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).

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

Asked by Junior about 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.

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

Asked by cutiepie18 over 12 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.

I plan on pursuing in becoming a police officer, I have had juvenile offenses though. I committed a first degree armed robbery, was tried in juvenile court but I now have a sealed ADULT record somehow. Is this still possible for me?

Asked by Julian about 12 years ago

I don't know what your state's laws may be in regard to this. I would hope that most departments would not hire a convicted armed robber, but that's just me.
