Ask a Police Officer anything

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

What is your opinion about video games that allow the player to harm police officers (Grand Theft Auto, Watch_Dogs, etc.)? Keep in mind that the player is not obligated to harm the police and can finish the game without touching a single officer.

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society. It desensitizes and dehumanizes people. Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

Are police officers trained in emergency vehicle driving as part of their academy training? Or are they only trained if they will be driving a police car?

Asked by Jet over 11 years ago

I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.

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 over 11 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.

What offense or violation would land someone only a 3 month sentence in prison maximum? One of my friends says he went to jail for 3 months but when we ask what he did, silence. I think he's lying. Help a gal win a bet here. Thanks. :-)

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months. So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.

I have a video message saved on my phone of a ex friend threatening to hurt me. If I go to the police to submit a report would my phone be taken away ?

Asked by girl22 about 11 years ago

The video is evidence. They will need to seize the phone at least long enough to take the video from the phone.

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 over 11 years ago

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

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