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.

I plan on pursuing in becoming a police officer, I have had juvenile offenses though. I committed a first degree armed robbery, was tried in juvenile court but I now have a sealed ADULT record somehow. Is this still possible for me?

Is calling someone fake on Instagram a form of cyber bulling? Or a donkey?

Asked by Kennedi almost 12 years ago

I'm not about to make a judgement call on what is or is not a violation of some state's laws on cyber bullying.  However, I would encourage you and everyone else to (1) ignore other people's hurtful words and (2) if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.

Can a Doorman refuse to let a police officer in a building if he does not provide a search warrant or some kind of document?

Asked by joe louis over 11 years ago

It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.
