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 was stopped by police when walking home from a St Pat's party a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember it clearly but I wasn't taken to station. They looked at my driver's license and actually drove me home. Could I still receive a citation?

Asked by Pete about 11 years ago

For what?  Walking in public?

If you were intoxicated to the point of being charged with something it is unlikely the officers would have dropped you off at home.

No. Call your cell provider.

if you got caught in a parking lot "parking" and you didnt sign a paper or anything does that show up on a record anywhere?

Asked by sydney about 11 years ago

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database.  If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

Possibly.

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 almost 11 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.

is it ok for women to hit men? what are some consequences?

Asked by Maggie almost 11 years ago

Women are no different than men when it comes to the crimes of battery. In other words, any unjustified touching can result in going to jail.
