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.

How long of a meal break did you get during your career?

Asked by mike over 11 years ago

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.

I'm doing research for a novel and i'm wondering if a homicide detective is able to conduct investigations statewide or is he restricted to the jurisdiction of his city/county, even if the investigation may lead him to other parts of the state?

Asked by Kevin The Writer about 11 years ago

It depends on the state. Generally, yes. However, he or she would work closely with the detectives of the jurisdiction he or she wound up in.

Another question is, can I report license number if I see somebody texting?

Also, when a person is driving in a poor manner (e.g. speeding and moving from lane to lane with no care of those around him/her).

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez about 11 years ago

You can call. Please don't cause an accident by calling while driving to report someone else on their phone while driving.
