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.

An off duty cop said my 2 friends were racing just because they were side by side in dropped trucks but he wasnt in his cop car so technically there is no proof what should they do at their court since they were arrested but rights werent read?

If there is a small village police department with 2 or 3 officers per shift, will they probably use the radio channel and dispatcher of the county PD that also patrols the village?

Asked by Sal over 11 years ago

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.
