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.

Hi, please my question is how does the responsibilities of the FBI influence the economy? Thank you.

Asked by Emmanuel over 11 years ago

I imagine the FBI has only a slight impact on the US economy.  It sounds like you have an interesting topic for research though.

Hi I want to get a family member out of my house because she is creating problems in my relationship with my husband but she doesn't want to leave.

Asked by julliana almost 11 years ago

Contact your local depaerment and inquire about forcing her to leave. States vary on the requirements regarding residency and tenant-landlord issues.

can you join the police academy in year 11 and 12 or is that to young?

Asked by lozza about 12 years ago

I believe all states require a police officer to be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or GED as an absolute minimum.  Most departments have more requirements than that (21+, college or military) to be employed.

I would suggest getting involved in the Explorers program at your local department.  It is perfect for someone who is still in high school.

If I were to get into a confrontation with someone and the police were called. Am I allowed to ask for another police officer to take control of the scene. If the original one had history with the person I got into the confrontation with?

Asked by Machines over 11 years ago

No.  If you believe the officer handles the incident in an improper manner, you can request to speak to his/her supervisor.

(Continued) I would be afraid of them finding out it was me and these kids aren't kids who no one likes who drinks. They are popular and I think they drink mostly to be cool. I'm not sure if I have a responsibility to act in this situation. Thanks!

This sounds like something you should discuss with your parents.  Good luck.

If a former co-worker posed as me and hacked my 401k and savings account ( after I was laid-off ) from a former employer, should I call the police or a lawyer? I don't know if they have stolen anything or not yet as I cannot get into my own account.

Asked by Sherry over 11 years ago

I would call the police.

Are there procedures in place that make it so if an officer is in trouble, they can say it on the radio without being blocked by less important use?

Asked by Asd over 11 years ago

Yes.  There are multiple methods.
