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.

That's very interesting that the study showed that about having a partner or not. Do you know why that is? Or is it just a statistic? Thanks again. (By the way, I'm 16 and thinking of going into law enforcement and this Q&A is great.)

I'm afraid I cannot explain the why, just take a few guesses.  I believe the first study was conducted in San Diego during the 1970's.  There may have been additional studies since then.  Put Google to work - I imagine that you should be able to find the study published online.  Also, there may be newer studies that support or contradict the original.

(Similar question) So after reading your other responses, you clearly oppose gun control. I get it. But just look at this:

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

I am considering purchasing a collapsible baton purely for self defense, it is however illegal in the state I live in, how strict will local police officers be if I carry this?

Asked by Aron over 11 years ago

If it is a crime for you to carry the baton, then I would expect that you would be arrested.

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 almost 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.
