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.
I don't know. I did a lot of things as a cop, but I was never a K9 handler.
If backup is available, only a fool would try to arrest more than one person at a time. Even with only one suspect, it is foolish to try to make an arrest without assistance. This all assumes that there is not an emergency requiring immediate action and that the officer isn't working alone in a remote area.
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.
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.
