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.

Asked by dony over 11 years ago

If the child is in an unsafe environment, I encourage you to contact your local law enforcement agency or state child protection agency.  There are too many unknowns in your question to give any kind of realistic answer.

Can a cop who is "watching" me, talk to other civilians about the case?

Asked by bobby sue over 11 years ago

I don't know what you mean by "watching me."  If you are the subject of an investigation, then yes, the police will definitely talk to other people about you.

Is there anything that might pop up in police screening?

Asked by mauisheriff@gmail.com over 11 years ago

Can you rephrase the question?  It sounds like you are asking me to tell you if there is anything in your background that might cause you problems in being hired.  Without knowing you, that would be an impossible question for me to answer.
