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.
Yes, any time an officer arrives at the scene of a call, makes a traffic stop, rolls up on an undispatched incident, or does pretty much anything, he/she calls it in on the radio. It is a safety issue. Most patrol cars have GPS and are constantly tracked by dispatch also.
An engineering degree would be of limited use to a police officer. If you like engineering, do that (it pays better and is a much safer occupation.) You can always be a reserve police officer on the weekends.

You should contact the local police department. I am not an active officer, nor is this a law enforcement agency. Dial 911 if there is a true emergency.

Why does Starbucks attract so many homeless people?
There is no law against it that I am aware of. You should check with your department regs if you are worried about your job.
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
Thanks for listing it!
