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.

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.

Asked by Carrie almost 12 years ago

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

Just to add, my window shades were down so when I heard him I went to the window from behind them. Could I have been mistaken for a burglar trying to ambush him? Also, how should I apologize for the false alarm (accidental)? (I'm a kid who was alone)

Asked by DDG about 12 years ago

Accidents happen and a lot of people mistakenly set off their alarms.  However, the officers don't know which alarms are accidents or real until they investigate them.  If during the course of that investigation, someone surprises them - well, things might get tense for a few minutes.  Calling the PD once you realize a mistake has been made is the best course of action.  They can tell you if they want you to go outside, stay inside or whatever.
