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 does policemen help each other

Asked by zay over 11 years ago

In many different ways.  On duty, the officers can go with one another on dangerous calls or when someone might need extra help.  Off duty, many officers help each other with normal activities such as coaching games for their kids.

Call the police if violence occurs.

I am working on a project. My topic is police screening. I just want info from a police officer.

Asked by mauisheriff@gmail.com over 11 years ago

Sounds great.  However, I do not understand what you are asking when you state "Is there anything that might pop up in police screening?" as a follow up to the prior question.  If you could rephrase the question, I will answer it the best I can.

A big police station will have some interview rooms, meeting rooms, and rooms dedicated to different teams such as a gang unit room. What will a typical small police station have? (What is the minimum?)

Asked by Ryan about 11 years ago

There is no minimum standard.  It depends on the size of the building and the needs of the agency.  It may have dozens of rooms with lots of specialized spaces or just a single desk.

Is there a way for cops to get old texts that have been deleted?

Asked by Kate almost 11 years ago

Yes.  Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.

(Continued) I reported the neighbors to the county PD (the local one is village PD) and they said they won't investigate something that the village PD can handle themselves. Should I tell them that I suspect wrongdoing by the PD? Or just let it go?

Asked by Jackson almost 11 years ago

Are you kidding?  Just because the cops don't do what you want them to do doesn't mean there is any wrongdoing on their part.  You should stop being a pest to your neighbors.

Between police officers, is it frowned upon to violate a persons fourth amendment rights? or is there a "he was guilty anyways" attitude?

Asked by JOHN over 11 years ago

It's not frowned upon; it is illegal.  Anyone that has a "he's guility of something" attitude has no business being in law enforcement.
