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.
Department policies dictate when a report will be filed by a police officer.
Generally: The same incident will generate only one report. Multiple incidents of the same nature, by the same subject may generate more than one report depending on the circumstances.

I saw no evidence that indicated George Zimmerman committed any crime, and yes, the jury's duty was to acquit.
Frankly, it is my belief that this was a case of wrongful prosecution for political gains, and testimony from at least one employee within the State Attorney's office stating the prosecution was withholding evidence from the defense team certainly affirms that belief.

Most frequent question: "Shoot anybody?"
The most annoying thing people do is loudly announce "I didn't do it!" when you walk into any store or business in uniform. The folks making these announcements seem to think it is both original and funny. What they don't realize is it is hardly original: I probably would hear it 10 times a day. At that point it is about as funny as a toothache.

What's the the stupidest IT question you've every gotten?
Checking the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife website, it looks like anyone 16 or older must have a license to fish. I did not see a reference to ages younger than 16. In the sane world, a 13 year old should be able to fish by him or herself. California, however, has some very bizarre views on what people should be allowed to do. So, I'd recommend contacting them directly.

Different departments have different regulations regarding tattoos. Many have in place policies prohibiting visible tattoos, while others have policies about the kinds or locations of tattoos (nothing obscene, nothing on the face or neck, etc.) The more visible tattoos you have, the fewer agencies that will employ you. Something under your shirt, on your back, etc. will not hurt you.
Being a member of the US Navy Reserve will greatly enhance your application and overall success in a law enforcement agency.

I don't know. It depends on the laws of your state and your driving record. You might want to contact an attorney.
