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.

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 is it like for women in law enforcement? Are they taken seriously?

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I was wondering if it is hard being a police officer

Asked by Vanessa over 11 years ago

It can be.  Time away from the family, physical danger and dealing with other people's problems are just some of the downsides to the job.
