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.

What are the typical questions a person would ask a murder suspect in an interrogation room?

Thanks

Asked by edwurd almost 11 years ago

It depends on the circumstances.  Detectives go through a lot of training to learn how to interview people and how to investigate homicides.  It is far to in-depth of a question for me to answer.

Would a Detective wear street clothes to a crime scene or would he/she wear full blue police uniform?

Also, would a detective wear street clothes at the office (Police Station) or wear a full blue police uniform?

Thanks in advance

Asked by edwurd almost 11 years ago

Except in unusual circumstances (police funeral, working a disaster, etc.) a detective never wears a uniform.  They typically wear business attire.

Why would someone take a picture of my car?

Asked by Janna over 10 years ago

I don't know.

As for the noise violation (which is against the law), they have to excuse to not respond because there is nothing else that they're doing. The last misdemeanor/felony in the area was 2 years ago...

Asked by Jackson almost 11 years ago

1.  Noise violations are not crimes.

2.  Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.

3.  Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.

4.  Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.

I feel sorry for your neighbor.

How can I track my phone that is stolen?

Asked by Kumanan over 11 years ago

If it has already been stolen, and you have not proactively installed tracking software, you are probably out of luck.  You might want to check some of the tech sites for additional information.  Alternatively, you could call the NSA and ask for help, but they might not appreciate the call.

If you have not lost your phone, try installing one of these programs...

Somebody I know who lives in Michigan just told me he wanted to end his life. I don't know where he lives or any information about him where I can call somebody to tell them. I live in Toronto and feel like Im out of control with this situation
