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.

Probably.

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I was wondering if it is hard being a police officer

Asked by Vanessa over 11 years ago

It can be.  Time away from the family, physical danger and dealing with other people's problems are just some of the downsides to the job.

Asked by suzan about 11 years ago

I don't know. You are the one telling the story. I'll assume you are telling the truth.

someone stole my phone and is is extremely vital with all my social things right now. can you please trace it?

Asked by david lugo about 11 years ago

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

I'm not sure if you're still interested in answering questions, but what's the procedure if a police officer pulls over a car and has to arrest multiple people? Would you call for backup or try to handle four hefty lawbreakers on your own?

Asked by ImaginaryNinja over 11 years ago

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.

Asked by Jay almost 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.
