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.
Its the same as it is for everyone else. Show up and do your job; you'll be fine.
If you think there will be a problem, you can call an officer. Keep in mind that officers will not be able to stand by for more than about 15-30 minutes. The department cannot reasonably justify pulling officers away from protecting the public while your roommate packs and moves.
If you want someone to stand by at your residence for a long period of time, you can contract with the agency to provide an off duty police officer for however long you want.
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
I don't know. I did a lot of things as a cop, but I was never a K9 handler.

What's it like going into a room in the morning to find someone dead?
Yes. Some departments may not allow it, but I know of some that do. Check with the recruiter at the agency you apply to.
If backup is available, only a fool would try to arrest more than one person at a time. Even with only one suspect, it is foolish to try to make an arrest without assistance. This all assumes that there is not an emergency requiring immediate action and that the officer isn't working alone in a remote area.
As soon as we figure out how to stop all natural cocaine, we should immediately apply the same strategy to synthetic cocaine.
