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.
Yes. Some departments may not allow it, but I know of some that do. Check with the recruiter at the agency you apply to.
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.
Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.
It would be investigated as any other crime.
I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.

How prevalent are teen pregnancies in your school?
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.
Probably.
Since I was not there, nor did I conduct an investigation in the incident, I don't know what the probable cause was for your charge.
However, I suspect it might have something to do with your statement "and I began to follow her."
Getting angry about some perceived slight while driving, and then chasing the woman, is likely the source of your problems.
