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.
Texas Rangers for non-patrol. LAPD-type for patrol (though with two shoulder patches)
Not usually. A medium to large size jail will typically have medical staff on duty, however.
If you are asking will your husband take you seriously, I don't know. Probably not. It sounds like he has a lack of regard for the safety of himself and others. Anything you say is unlikely to get him to change his behavior.
If you are asking will the police dispatcher take you seriously, of course they will.
It can be. Time away from the family, physical danger and dealing with other people's problems are just some of the downsides to the job.

Just how effective is the Heimlich, really?
Hotel Employee
What was the craziest request you ever got from a guest?
Probably. I'd suggest looking for something related to law enforcement (if that's what you want to do) that does not include driving or the carrying of arms.
I would highly recommend contacting the state attorney general's office and the BATFE for information on the related state and federal laws.
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.
