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.

I'm doing research for a novel and i'm wondering if a homicide detective is able to conduct investigations statewide or is he restricted to the jurisdiction of his city/county, even if the investigation may lead him to other parts of the state?

Asked by Kevin The Writer almost 11 years ago

It depends on the state. Generally, yes. However, he or she would work closely with the detectives of the jurisdiction he or she wound up in.

If you are under age, and run from the police what are the consequences?
