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 don't know.  Contact a police or sheriff's department in Texas.

Okay I guess I should tell my parents. But when I do, what's the next step? I mean I more concerned about them than me. I understand what it means to drink. Does what they are doing violate "Social Host" laws?

Asked by Julian almost 12 years ago

I don't know what a 'social host' law is.  However, your parents should be able to provide you guidance on what you should and should not do.  Good luck.

Do adhd people have the right to own weaponry

Asked by tank almost 12 years ago

Unless they have been adjudicated to be mentally ill, then probably.  Laws vary from state to state, and many states ignore the Second Amendment anyway.  So, check your local laws and don't take legal advice (which this is not) from a guy on the internet.

In the police force, how do you value the following: experience (time), education, and someone's natural ability to do the job?

Asked by Josbtr over 11 years ago

I value them all.  If you are asking me to arbitrarily rank them in order of importance, I cannot.  What duty is the officer trying to perform?  Every task is different and requires varying degrees of each of the above.  Also time in grade does not equate to experience.  Also, experiences vary widely.  Are the experiences in roles as a trainer, investigator, narcotics officer, or what?  A highly educated homicide investigator with ten years of violent crime investigations may get his butt kicked the first night he rotates back to patrol and goes to a bar disturbance, while the two-year officer with nothing more than a high school diploma saves him.  There is no neat way of quantifying police officers.
