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.

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 12 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.
