Are you getting paid to answer this Q&A, or volunteering? Also, have you seen the show Alaska State Troopers? My dad and I watch the show (he's OSHP), and every time he watches it, he tells me that he wants to lateral over there.

Asked by Joe over 12 years ago

No, I am not paid to participate here. I don't think I've seen the Alaska Satte Trooper show. I tend to avoid cop programs.

Asked by nicholas about 12 years ago

You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)

Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.

Hello. I live in an area policed by a county department. But my village has its own small police department of 6 or 5 men. Apparently, it's staffed 24/7. How could shifts possibly be organized to make that possible? (They answer their own calls.)

Asked by Name over 12 years ago

I don't know. You should pop in to the local department, introduce yourself and ask. They might even have a citizens academy where they go over all of the department's functions.
