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.

If you are not an adult, you have to obey your parents.  If you leave without permission, you can be detained, returned to your parents or taken to a juvenile detention facility (jail).

I plan on pursuing in becoming a police officer, I have had juvenile offenses though. I committed a first degree armed robbery, was tried in juvenile court but I now have a sealed ADULT record somehow. Is this still possible for me?

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.

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I was wondering if it is hard being a police officer

Asked by Vanessa over 11 years ago

It can be.  Time away from the family, physical danger and dealing with other people's problems are just some of the downsides to the job.

If I were to be physically assaulted by a group of guys as a junior at school, suffer from a back eye, minor concussion, and a cracked rib, along with we bruising, what would happen if I reported it in a police station with my boyfriend?

Asked by Jada over 11 years ago

It would be investigated as any other crime.

I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.

I bought an iphone from a local store and and I want my money back I lost 500 dollars and the store owner told me to come back later and later and later and I'm tired of it every time an excuse and sometime even closed I had it with this 3w late

Asked by Jay almost 12 years ago

I'm not sure if there is a question in there.  However, you have not described anything criminal.  Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

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