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.

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 over 11 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.

When police officers graduate the academy, do they go through a period where they are always with a more experienced officer, or are they trained enough to start off on their own?

Asked by Jacob over 11 years ago

New officers go through a period of on the job training called Field Training.  Experienced officers with specialized training take new officers and teach them how to employ the things they learned at the academy in the real world.  This is also a time when the new officer is closely watched in an effort to determine if they are a good officer/person or if they should be terminated because they are unfit for the job.

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. If they allow it, they will describe the process.

What is your opinion about video games that allow the player to harm police officers (Grand Theft Auto, Watch_Dogs, etc.)? Keep in mind that the player is not obligated to harm the police and can finish the game without touching a single officer.

Asked by Xatosfx over 11 years ago

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society.  It desensitizes and dehumanizes people.  Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

Ask me a serious question.

If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.
