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.
Most 18 year olds are considered an adult. You can still be reported as a missing person.
If you want to avoid problems, you should act like an adult and tell your parents that you are fine, but you have moved out.
If you fall into a variety of special categories (such as under court order), you might not be able to move out. Chances are you would know if one of those applied to you.
If you have additional questions, you should contact an attorney or the local law enforcement agency.
You should contact an attorney.
You should contact the recruiter for the department you want to work for.
Yep.

How many years of work experience do you REALLY need before applying?
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
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.
Contact an attorney. Oh, and never use the "my leg had a cramp" line again.
