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.
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.
I do not know what the age of majority is in Arkansas. You should probably contact the local law enforcement agency.
Oh, and "close enough" is not a legal term that will be recognized by a court or law enforcement officer.
It depends on the laws of your state. If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)
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.

Private Detective
Are you kidding? Just because the cops don't do what you want them to do doesn't mean there is any wrongdoing on their part. You should stop being a pest to your neighbors.
Only you can make the decision on what to do. If you want to be a police officer, be a police officer. If money is a motivating factor, try private enterprise. Neither the Navy nor police work is a path to riches. If a LT's salary is considered "high," you might be surprised at what is available if you started your own business or used your degree & experience to land a good career in the private sector.
If you are looking for the best salary in law enforcement, take a look at the federal agencies. Local departments in the northeast and west coast pay the best, but also have outrageous taxes and costs of living.
Yes, that frequently happens.
