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 Angela about 11 years ago

Yes. It is called theft.

In your experience are a lot of police officers former-military? If so, are they usually former enlisted or former officers?

Thanks.

Asked by Johan about 11 years ago

I'd say about 1/4 to 1/3 of the officers I have worked with are former military.  Of those about 90% were enlisted/NCOs.

I am an 18 year old New Jersey resident who was recently charged for public misdemeanor/disorderly conduct for stepping unto a hood of a persons car and stepping off. Will the courts give me leniency to pay in payment plans? I am poor cant afford.

Asked by maria almost 11 years ago

The right not to be offended? I think that is in the Good n Plenty clause of the Constitution.

Sounds like you got fired. Buck up and find another job.

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?)

I have been in and aced both Psychology and Law Enforcement in my High School. I am considering going to college to study law. The only problem is that it seems like a depressing job. Is there any fun to be had as a Police Officer? Or is it all bad?

Asked by Trent over 11 years ago

There are a lot of good aspects to being a police officer.  If you are interested in the job, I highly recommend doing a ride-along with a few different departments and see what the job is like.

Blue Sheep dog, I was charged for a crime I didn't commit. I was 16/17 when I was charged for sexual assault on a minor, after a few court visits right before the big one she came clean and said she lied is this on my Criminal record?

Asked by Big T over 11 years ago

Possibly.  You likely can get this sealed, but you should contact a local attorney.
