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.
You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)
Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.
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.
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
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.

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 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.
