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.

Asked by jada about 11 years ago

I have no idea.  You should contact a police officer in the state of Washington about those laws.

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

Are Domestic violence "warning signs" considered something that should be brought to a police officer's attention?

Asked by MZUSMC almost 11 years ago

If you believe a crime has been committed, I would encourage you to contact the police.

In the police force, how do you value the following: experience (time), education, and someone's natural ability to do the job?

Asked by Josbtr about 11 years ago

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.  

Can anyone be arrested for harrasment, such as telling them to go kill themselves?

By phone is often the easiest for many people. Sometimes walking into the police station is easier.
