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.

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I was wondering if it is hard being a police officer

Asked by Vanessa over 10 years ago

It can be.  Time away from the family, physical danger and dealing with other people's problems are just some of the downsides to the job.

Can I get into trouble or arrested for saying "fuck you" or "go fuck yourself" to a cop over the phone?

Asked by Neis over 10 years ago

It depends on the circumstances.

Are you getting paid to answer this Q&A, or volunteering? Also, have you seen the show Alaska State Troopers? My dad and I watch the show (he's OSHP), and every time he watches it, he tells me that he wants to lateral over there.

Asked by Joe about 11 years ago

No, I am not paid to participate here.  I don't think I've seen the Alaska Satte Trooper show.  I tend to avoid cop programs.
