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.
Probably not.
In my experience, a significant number of transactions handled via Western Union are scams. Money sent through Western Union can be picked up anywhere in the world. So a person sets up a Craigslist ad (or wherever) and says he lives in New York, Atlanta, or wherever. However, he most likely lives outside the jurisdiction of the US - Europe, Africa, Asia. He can pick up the money anonymously at any Western Union and you never hear from him again.
Unfortunately, I have seen too many of these cases and none of them are ever solved.
Feel free to file a police report, but do not expect that you will ever get your money back.

I don't know, but NY and NJ sure do like to tell people what to do. It seems just living is either illegal or nearly taxed to death in those states. You should probably check with the local jurisdiction.

At the scene.
If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video. However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary. If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.
Share Answer: 
Maybe. Consider, however, that your lack of experience may have an impact on your credibility both with the agencies you are providing training to and to the courts when you and they are sued for wrongful use of force. (Yes - even when you do everything correctly, you will get sued and have to defend yourself in court.)

Zookeeper and Animal Trainer

You can ask, but don't expect to get a positive reaction.
Share Answer: 
I don't know what your state's laws may be in regard to this. I would hope that most departments would not hire a convicted armed robber, but that's just me.

For what? Walking in public?
If you were intoxicated to the point of being charged with something it is unlikely the officers would have dropped you off at home.
