Can someone who wears hearing aids become a police officer?

Asked by Oberyn about 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.

What should I do if I hear that kids my age (13) have drank shots and so have their friends? I think their parents supplied the vodka. I don't know if I have the confidence or sufficient evidence to report them. (To be continued)

When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Asked by notacop almost 12 years ago

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.

Asked by nicholas about 12 years ago

You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)

Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.
