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.

Share Answer: 
An engineering degree would be of limited use to a police officer. If you like engineering, do that (it pays better and is a much safer occupation.) You can always be a reserve police officer on the weekends.
