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.

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.

Asked by Joe about 12 years ago

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.

I am considering going into law enforcement but i want to get a tattoo on my upper arm. If it it slightly visible when wearing short sleeve shirts would it effect me getting a job?

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I was wondering if it is hard being a police officer

Asked by Vanessa almost 12 years ago

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.

Asked by david lugo over 11 years ago

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

I became aware of my husband drinking and driving. I have told him that when I am aware that he is doing this, I will report him (and his car license plate) to the police. He is in denial of his problem. Will I be taken seriously?

Asked by momof3 over 12 years ago

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.
