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

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

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd about 11 years ago

If the case is still open (unsolved), no. A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime. Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.

Hello. I live in an area policed by a county department. But my village has its own small police department of 6 or 5 men. Apparently, it's staffed 24/7. How could shifts possibly be organized to make that possible? (They answer their own calls.)

Asked by Name over 11 years ago

I don't know. You should pop in to the local department, introduce yourself and ask. They might even have a citizens academy where they go over all of the department's functions.

Nice jpg on an opinion blog. But there is no context to it, and it is therefore meaningless.
