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.
There are a lot of good aspects to being a police officer. If you are interested in the job, I highly recommend doing a ride-along with a few different departments and see what the job is like.
I have no idea what a PND is.
Generally, if you have ever been charged with a crime, then it is part of your official criminal history.
I don't know.
Help Desk Technician
Call Center Representative
Are you allowed to hang up on a caller if they're being very rude?
Dry Cleaner
Why do dry cleaners have autographed pictures on their walls?
You can call. Please don't cause an accident by calling while driving to report someone else on their phone while driving.
Probably not.
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.
