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.
All arrests must be based on probable cause.

It depends on the agency. Some departments require no college, while others might require a two or four year degree. Read through the prior posts and you can get additional information on college and hiring.

To be a K-9 handler you will need to be in great shape. I daresay that handlers have to be in better shape than the average SWAT cop because they (the handler) is often running through the dark every night chasing his/her dog who is chasing a suspect. Then the handler has to be able to fight once the suspect is located. Imagine running three miles and then getting into a fight for your life. You need a lot of cardio work to get ready for that.
I'd suggest being involved in sports and finding a local explorer unit to join would be the best two things to do now. College classes are completely up to you. Other than certain federal agencies, I'm not aware of any department that requires any specific major or classes in college.

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.

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...
