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.

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!

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.

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?
