Ask a Police Officer anything

615 Questions

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

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.

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.

Asked by Oberyn almost 12 years ago

Yes. Some departments may not allow it, but I know of some that do. Check with the recruiter at the agency you apply to.

I'm not sure if there is a question in there. However, you have not described anything criminal. Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

what is the importance of math to a police?

Asked by shun almost 12 years ago

Math is important for a variety of reasons. Everything from budgeting to accident reconstruction requires math. Street officers investigating any number of financial crimes have to be able to do simple to advanced math.
