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.
Ok. I hope you are not looking for someone to hand you a wad of money because you want something. That's not how life works.

I think more than half do. Nearly all have access to one through mutual aid.
Share Answer: 
Probably not. Laws vary from state to state, but law enforcement has no duty to protect you. Law enforcement has a duty to provide general protection to a community, but not to individuals. Most (all?) states provide a sex offender database online that you can access to check things for yourself. For example, this is the one in Florida: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/

If backup is available, only a fool would try to arrest more than one person at a time. Even with only one suspect, it is foolish to try to make an arrest without assistance. This all assumes that there is not an emergency requiring immediate action and that the officer isn't working alone in a remote area.
