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 mother in law put my birth certificate along with my brother and my mother's I'm her safe when I first moved in with her son. Now that we no longer live there she does not want to give them back. She's an immigrant. What should I do?

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

After a suspect is questioned and released from a police station, how does that suspect(s) get back home or to their car if it's parked at another location? Call a taxi or does a Police Officer drive them back to where they need to go? Thank You

Asked by edwurd almost 12 years ago

Any of the above.  It could be anything that is reasonable.  Sometimes a suspect will not want to be seen in a police car (looks like a snitch) and will prefer to walk.  Other times a family member might pick them up.

I went to pray over the homes that burnt down last summer and there was a no trespassing sign but the gate was open so I drove 20 feet past the sign and turned around but the sign said I will be fined and my picture was taken. What will happen?

Nope.

Hi I live in a small town with it's own police force. I want to show some thanks to them but I only see them driving by. They don't have any outreach programs. Is waving a good way to show thanks? Or will they think I'm flagging them down for help?

Asked by Robert about 12 years ago

Waving is a friendly gesture, and is appreciated.  If they stop, it is a perfect opportunity to get to know the officer and tell them thank you.

Do unmarked cars usually have a way of showing that they are the police without full emergency lights? (For example, if they want people to see them if they need help.) Also, are there common instances where something like this is used?

It varies from state to state. 

Somebody I know who lives in Michigan just told me he wanted to end his life. I don't know where he lives or any information about him where I can call somebody to tell them. I live in Toronto and feel like Im out of control with this situation
