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.
I value them all. If you are asking me to arbitrarily rank them in order of importance, I cannot. What duty is the officer trying to perform? Every task is different and requires varying degrees of each of the above. Also time in grade does not equate to experience. Also, experiences vary widely. Are the experiences in roles as a trainer, investigator, narcotics officer, or what? A highly educated homicide investigator with ten years of violent crime investigations may get his butt kicked the first night he rotates back to patrol and goes to a bar disturbance, while the two-year officer with nothing more than a high school diploma saves him. There is no neat way of quantifying police officers.

All arrests must be based on probable cause.

It depends on the agency. Some departments require no college, while others might require a two or four year degree. Read through the prior posts and you can get additional information on college and hiring.

The Navy is a good way to go. My family has had at least one man in the US Navy continuously since 1943. You definitely want to talk to a recruiter about the asthma, but I don't think it would bar you from service.

What was the craziest request you ever got from a guest?
I don't know. Contact the agency you are interested in and talk to their recruiter about your situation.

Yes.

I'm not sure what you are asking when you say "what's the policy." Federal law establishes how the government controls immigration. The executive branch (the president and his administration) is responsible for enforcement of the law.
You have several problems going on right now. Among them are:
1. Few presidents of either party have taken a serious stab at securing our borders.
2. The current president, through design or sheer foolishness, is making no serious effort to enforce the laws on the books.
3. A 2008 law significantly expanded the "rights" of an illegal alien OTMs under a certain age to stay in the US. Look at the numbers of under age illegal OTMs and you will see the numbers have skyrocketed every year since.
4. Children and others, once they make it into the country, are being temporarily held in detainment camps. These camps have inhumane conditions, and the executive branch is keeping the press, clergy, charities and even members of Congress from entering them.
5. Mexican drug cartels are the primary human traffickers along the border. They routinely fire on Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement offcers with small arms, up to and including .50 caliber machine guns. Some of these guns were trafficked to the cartels through a ATF program called Fast & Furious, which has resulted in the deaths of dozens (if not hundreds) of foreign nationals, and at least one Border Patrol agent.
6. The executive branch is shipping illegal immigrants to various parts of the nation and refuses to tell the press or Congress where, claiming the rights to privacy of the illegal immigrants.
7. Many local cities and counties are required to accept the illegal immigrants due to a clause in block grant fundung provided by the federal government.
So, the situation with illegal immigration has been a long time in the making. I don't care if you are a supporter of Bush, Clinton or Obama - none of them have bothered to secure our borders.
