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.

Don't be afraid - you are being scammed.

Can shoplifting a candy bar at 14 prevent me from becoming an officer? I am now 25, I have dual degrees in economics and biochemistry and I am entering my third year of service in the Air force. I haven't been in any other legal troubles.

It should not be a major issue.  Make sure you are honest about the incident when applying.  Any attempt to conceal or minimize the incident will indicate a lack of honesty.  Questions about honesty will absolutely destroy your shot at being hired.

What are the typical questions a person would ask a murder suspect in an interrogation room?

Thanks

Asked by edwurd over 12 years ago

It depends on the circumstances.  Detectives go through a lot of training to learn how to interview people and how to investigate homicides.  It is far to in-depth of a question for me to answer.

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

So you said you value prior military experience but not expensive college when considering a PO candidate. What if someone went to Yale ROTC (and obviously joined the military.) Then would the edu. only be a plus? (Since it was prob. free?)
