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.

Back in the 1970's, my father bought two fake grenades from a surplus army navy store. They look real, and if I throw them in the trash someone could freak out. Is there any way the local police would take them without freaking out if I call them?

Asked by JP over 11 years ago

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.).

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

Asked by Writer23 almost 12 years ago

It is impossible to say.  A department will generally have guidelines regarding manpower as it relates to the call volume or work load of each unit.

well my son is 14 i got him a dirt bike i live in nj west new york 07093 is it illigal for him to ride it at the park during summe

Asked by hector almost 12 years ago

I don't know, but NY and NJ sure do like to tell people what to do.  It seems just living is either illegal or nearly taxed to death in those states.  You should probably check with the local jurisdiction.

It can, but it depends on the circumstances.
