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.

If she is unwilling to contact local police for assistance, she can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233 for confidential assistance.

I have been in and aced both Psychology and Law Enforcement in my High School. I am considering going to college to study law. The only problem is that it seems like a depressing job. Is there any fun to be had as a Police Officer? Or is it all bad?

Asked by Trent over 12 years ago

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.

Asked by anomyous almost 12 years ago

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.

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

Asked by mike almost 12 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.

What can a police officer do if they see a person who is harming themself (or evidence that they have done so recently) but not anyone else or any property? Are they obligated to help that person?
