Ask a Police Officer anything

615 Questions

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

Are the police that respond to 911 calls usually patrolling before they are called to a scene, or do they sometimes leave from the police station like firefighters do?

I'm assuming that smaller departments might do the second one more often?

Asked by Roger over 11 years ago

Officers respond from whereever they are at the moment. They might be eating lunch, driving down the street or submitting evidence at the department. They do not sit around at the PD like the firefighters do.

I'm not sure if there is a question in there. However, you have not described anything criminal. Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

My former boss loaned me her vehicle so I could watch her children for a few months. They recently got into daycare. She threatened me through text that she would report it stolen since I wouldnt watch her kids Monday due to illness. Is that illegal?

Nice jpg on an opinion blog. But there is no context to it, and it is therefore meaningless.

My dad sold all of my things that he bought for me 4 years ago without my permission. Can I file a police report against him?

Asked by Joshua Raketich almost 12 years ago

Maybe. Are you an adult and can you show the property in dispute was clearly owned by you? There are too many factors for me to make any kind of determination on what you might be able to do. Why don't you got talk to a local police officer?
