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.

My DUI trial was postponed 5 times. The cop didn't show on the 5th and I was in detox which my lawyer forgot to mention resulting in a warrant so it was clearly scheduled. Why would he not have shown and what are his chances of showing to the next?

Asked by Ron about 12 years ago

I don't know; I am not a mind reader.  It is possible that the court has failer to subpoena him/her properly.  He/She might be out on medical leave.  (etc, etc, etc)  It seems to me that the real question should be why can't your defense attorney tell you what's going on?

In response to my first question what makes you do it every day?

Asked by Emily about 12 years ago

The desire to help people - to make a difference.  All of those things I mentioned above suck the life out of you.  But with good friends, family and faith in God supporting you, the job can be done.

There were many times that I was going to a call that I would have preferred avoid, but I knew I had the skills and disposition to handle it.  Who wants to go to the call where a man just committed suicide in front of his wife by sticking a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger?  No one.  But, as I often questioned myself, "if not me, then who?"

There are upsides to the job, though they are rarely visible to, or understood by, anyone outside of law enforcement.

What do you do when parents don't allow young adults over 21 to go out with others? Is there any restraining order which forces parents to allow young adults to have freedom?

Ask me a serious question.

If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.
