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.

what does the first responding office do when they arrive at a crime?

Asked by cutiepie18 over 11 years ago

Every scene is different.  If the crime is in progress, stopping the criminal from hurting others is the first priority.  If the crime is not in progress (or once the criminal has been stopped), providing aid to injured people is the highest priority.

Would getting a degree in forensic science be useful for policing? I hear that everything you need to know will be taught during the academy? THX for your time.

Asked by Jimmy over 11 years ago

A forensic science degree may be useful for certain specialized duties.  The academy teaches the absolute basics needed to begin a policing career.  It does not teach you everything you need to know.  It is a starting point only.
