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.
There are different protocols for each agency, but in general for situations in which their specialized skills and equipment can more safely resolve an incident.
Share Answer: 
It depends. Some small agencies will work off of a county channel. Others will handle the dispatching, but the county will handle the 911 call answering. Others will have a full 911 center (take the emergency calls and dispatch.) I hate to say "it depends" so much, but things vary a lot.
Share Answer: 
No. If you believe the officer handles the incident in an improper manner, you can request to speak to his/her supervisor.
Share Answer: 
Yes. There are multiple methods.

Yes.
Share Answer: 
It can, but it depends on the circumstances.
Share Answer: 
Yes, they are completely legal. But, you are right and someone might freak out if someone sees them. Calling the PD and explaining the situation should be fine. We helped dispose of all sorts of stuff (ammo, explosives, etc.).
