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.
You should contact the local police department. I am not an active officer, nor is this a law enforcement agency. Dial 911 if there is a true emergency.
Share Answer: 
Yes. It is called theft.
Share Answer: 
I'd say about 1/4 to 1/3 of the officers I have worked with are former military. Of those about 90% were enlisted/NCOs.
Share Answer: 
Possibly. Try contacting the state patrol for information.

From a legal perspective, a fine, probation or jail time are all possibilities.
Share Answer: 
It varies from department to department. One agency allowed for a 30 minute break, while another allowed for 45 minutes. Of course, you were still subject to calls during these breaks.
Share Answer: 
In a smaller department, only one officer may be assigned to a specific area. In that case, the back up officer will come from another area. In medium or larger agencies, there may be two or more officers assigned to a specific area. In that case the backup officer will probably come from inside that area.
