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.
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.

Feel free to ask for a badge number any time you like. Badge numbers aren't magic talismans. I'd suggest asking the officer his or her name instead, as some departments don't use badge numbers for anything. In fact, a lot of agencies don't even have numbers on the badges.
One thing I always think is funny is someone who wants my badge number who is standing in front of me. Both my name and badge number are clearly visible, as well as the agency I represent. Additionally, I almost always introduce myself when talking to anyone. Yet, the common courtesy of using someone's name in conversation has largely disappeared. Now it seems everyone is just "dude" or "bro."

State laws vary, but generally a police officer, on- or off-duty, can arrest someone if they have probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.
