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.

I am just curious if a person is under 18 but at legal age of consent is sexually assaulted, do the police have to go to the minor's parents?

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

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

Asked by Collin about 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.

Are there procedures that police officers use that are wrong according to their training (not "textbook" perfect) but are still used because they are more convenient and/or make more sense?

Asked by Jes almost 11 years ago

Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction.  Also, criminals rarely cooperate.

What are the typical questions a person would ask a murder suspect in an interrogation room?

Thanks

Asked by edwurd almost 11 years ago

It depends on the circumstances.  Detectives go through a lot of training to learn how to interview people and how to investigate homicides.  It is far to in-depth of a question for me to answer.

If I understand your statement correctly, you have not described any crime.

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

Asked by Kennedi almost 11 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.

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.

Asked by Jack almost 11 years ago

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