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.

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?

Asked by moonbunnie2012@aol.com almost 12 years ago

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.

No.

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?

Would a Detective wear street clothes to a crime scene or would he/she wear full blue police uniform?

Also, would a detective wear street clothes at the office (Police Station) or wear a full blue police uniform?

Thanks in advance

Asked by edwurd about 12 years ago

Except in unusual circumstances (police funeral, working a disaster, etc.) a detective never wears a uniform.  They typically wear business attire.
