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.

School record - probably. If you were charged with something, then criminal record - yes.

Hello Bluesheepdog,
My question is: if I see children in a vehicle at the parking lot, is that something I can report on the emergency line? I don't agree with it, but uncertain if it is a cause the police is concerned about.

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez about 11 years ago

If children are in danger, please call the emergency line.

What would the cops do if a teenager beat another teenager with a baseball bat in broad daylight, with a nearby security guard as a witness to the crime?

Asked by Jessie over 11 years ago

It depends on what the investigation revealed.  Was it an assault or self-defense?  Since I was not there and did not conduct the investigation, it is impossible for me to say what the best action should be for the officers to take.

Hello, I was wondering about the illegal weapons in NY? Is a Sai illegal in New York State?

Asked by Collin over 11 years ago

I don't know.  I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state.  NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.

How long does it take for a officer to wright a report

Asked by Jamiyssalinn@gmail.com about 11 years ago

It depends on the report.

My DUI trial was postponed 5 times. The cop didn't show on the 5th and I was in detox which my lawyer forgot to mention resulting in a warrant so it was clearly scheduled. Why would he not have shown and what are his chances of showing to the next?

Asked by Ron over 11 years ago

I don't know; I am not a mind reader.  It is possible that the court has failer to subpoena him/her properly.  He/She might be out on medical leave.  (etc, etc, etc)  It seems to me that the real question should be why can't your defense attorney tell you what's going on?
