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.

why do i need a lawyer when no one knows what i am doing there is no sufficient evidence on me

Asked by wolfgirl over 12 years ago

Get one or don't get one; I don't much care. I thought perhaps you felt bad about being a thief and wanted to take responsibility for your actions.

Is there a way for cops to get old texts that have been deleted?

Asked by Kate over 11 years ago

Yes. Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.

how does policemen help each other

Asked by zay about 12 years ago

In many different ways. On duty, the officers can go with one another on dangerous calls or when someone might need extra help. Off duty, many officers help each other with normal activities such as coaching games for their kids.

Do police officers usually have a time limit to how long they can be "out of service"? What exactly does that mean?

Asked by Ryan almost 12 years ago

Out of service means different things to different agencies. Do you mean off duty? On break? On a call? If you are referring to a break, then yes - a department will likely have some type of policy on that. Each department will be different.
