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.

my friend daughter is sleeping with a older guy and her parents cant get him to stay away how can I take actions on this

Asked by garrett about 11 years ago

The parents should call the police.  You can also call the police.

How are police radio channels used? It seems like if officers are just patrolling, then one dispatcher could handle like 50 units on one channel. But if there's something going on, how is people cutting each other out avoided?

Asked by Name about 11 years ago

Essentially, officers take turns.  It is a team sport and everyone has to share the radio.  Many agencies have more than one channel, so when something comes up, officers can move to different channels if needed.  But fundamentally, everyone has to take turns and officers give right of way to anyone that has emergency or urgent traffic.

So if you find a dead body, and you don't know the victims name. Can't you just take a blood sample and run it through the system or finger prints.

Asked by person about 10 years ago

Running finger prints is one way to possibly ID a corpse. Keep in mind that someone would have had to have been finger printed so be "in the system."

Some states have a DNA registry for sexual predators, which may be a way of ID-ing a corpse if it was someone convicted of rape, molestation or a similar crime.

Is there a way for cops to get old texts that have been deleted?

Asked by Kate over 10 years ago

Yes.  Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.

Is there a ticket or fine for leaving my bumper and license on the street?

Asked by Sean about 11 years ago

Possibly.  You should probably inquire with your local law enforcement agency.
