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.

I plan on pursuing in becoming a police officer, I have had juvenile offenses though. I committed a first degree armed robbery, was tried in juvenile court but I now have a sealed ADULT record somehow. Is this still possible for me?

Asked by Julian over 10 years ago

I don't know what your state's laws may be in regard to this.  I would hope that most departments would not hire a convicted armed robber, but that's just me.

If a person happened upon a murder crime scene, called 911, and stayed until the police arrived. Would an officer take that persons statement at the crime scene or bring them back to the station and take the statement there?

Thanks in advance.

Asked by edwurd almost 11 years ago

At the scene.

If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video.  However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary.  If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.

I have had a roommate since february of 2014. He is now moving out due to some disagreement and false statements. Show I call an officer to my house today, since he is moving out and make sure there is no physical disagreements?

Asked by Katherine over 10 years ago

If you think there will be a problem, you can call an officer.  Keep in mind that officers will not be able to stand by for more than about 15-30 minutes.  The department cannot reasonably justify pulling officers away from protecting the public while your roommate packs and moves.

If you want someone to stand by at your residence for a long period of time, you can contract with the agency to provide an off duty police officer for however long you want.

I am writing a screenplay and I have a few questions:

1. Can a suspect of a murder case that took place 4 years earlier, look at the crime scene photos & the crime scene evidence?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd almost 11 years ago

If the case is still open (unsolved), no.  A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime.  Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.
