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.

Can a correctional officer marry someone who went to jail years ago in there past, completed their probation and restitution fine? I used to live with her for 2 yrs while she was on probation. Her past did not affect my hiring process.

Asked by Paris over 11 years ago

There is no law against it that I am aware of.  You should check with your department regs if you are worried about your job.

In response to my previous question, I was also thinking about an engineering degree. Would that be useful also? I'm sure you don't get this enough, thanks for your service and all that you do. I wish there were more people like you in the world.

Asked by Jimmy over 11 years ago

An engineering degree would be of limited use to a police officer.  If you like engineering, do that (it pays better and is a much safer occupation.)  You can always be a reserve police officer on the weekends.

is it legal in Minnesota for a man to video record my 16 year old son in his own back yard? We find it hard to enjoy our backyard for fear he is recording us.

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
