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 a large city, how many sergeants would be based in a particular station? How many at a time would be on duty?

When do you call in SWAT?

Asked by XatosfX almost 11 years ago
