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.

Should I report that three vehicles at different times in a gym parking lot will follow me home? I was able to get their license plate numbers. There has been a strange man who does not like that I work out there! This is a somewhat small town in WI,

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

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.)

Asked by Jet almost 12 years ago

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.

There is stuff in the women's restroom that you shouldn't see.  Stay out.

 

After a suspect is questioned and released from a police station, how does that suspect(s) get back home or to their car if it's parked at another location? Call a taxi or does a Police Officer drive them back to where they need to go? Thank You

Asked by edwurd about 12 years ago

Any of the above.  It could be anything that is reasonable.  Sometimes a suspect will not want to be seen in a police car (looks like a snitch) and will prefer to walk.  Other times a family member might pick them up.

I want to become a police officer one day, but i don't know where to start. I am 19 and attending a community college right now.

Contact the local police department recruiter.  He or she should be able to help.
