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.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
I'm sorry for your loss. If you contact the investigating agency, they will be able to tell you what the procedures are to obtain the information and documents you need.
Share Answer: 
Probably.
Share Answer: 
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.

If someone is being abused, please call 911. If you are suicidal, please call 911.

Are there social cliques (like "cool kids") in old folks homes?
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.
Share Answer: 
Yes. Some departments may not allow it, but I know of some that do. Check with the recruiter at the agency you apply to.
Share Answer: 
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.
