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.

Asked by Jay over 12 years ago

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.

Does a police station have an onsite medical person like a Nurse in the building?

Thanks

Asked by Edwurd almost 12 years ago

Not usually.  A medium to large size jail will typically have medical staff on duty, however.

Lately there has been a lot of Abuse to synthetic cocaine, is there anything that police enforcement can do to get it off market?

Asked by nancy over 11 years ago

As soon as we figure out how to stop all natural cocaine, we should immediately apply the same strategy to synthetic cocaine.

I am writing a screenplay and I have a few questions:

1. Can a suspect of a murder case that took place 4 years earlier, look at the crime scene photos & the crime scene evidence?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd almost 12 years ago

If the case is still open (unsolved), no.  A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime.  Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.

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 12 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.

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

Asked by cutiepie18 about 12 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.
