I plan on pursuing in becoming a police officer, I have had juvenile offenses though. I committed a first degree armed robbery, was tried in juvenile court but I now have a sealed ADULT record somehow. Is this still possible for me?

Asked by Julian about 12 years ago

I don't know what your state's laws may be in regard to this. I would hope that most departments would not hire a convicted armed robber, but that's just me.

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.

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.

Which agency do you think wears the best uniform? I think OSHP, but I'm biased lol. But I will admit to being slightly jealous of the Texas State Troopers who wear those custom Stetson cowboy hats!

Texas Rangers for non-patrol. LAPD-type for patrol (though with two shoulder patches)

Would getting a degree in forensic science be useful for policing? I hear that everything you need to know will be taught during the academy? THX for your time.

Asked by Jimmy about 12 years ago

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.

I have had a roommate since february of 2014. He is now moving out due to some disagreement and false statements. Show I call an officer to my house today, since he is moving out and make sure there is no physical disagreements?

Asked by Katherine about 12 years ago

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.

Do the police handle illegal sites, videos on the internet? If so why are there so many sites and videos still up? Is there anything that I can do to stop these things from happening?

Asked by Azzy about 12 years ago

Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet. Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases. For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.
