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.

Can a correctional officer marry someone who went to jail years ago in there past, completed their probation and restitution fine? I used to live with her for 2 yrs while she was on probation. Her past did not affect my hiring process.

Asked by Paris over 11 years ago

There is no law against it that I am aware of.  You should check with your department regs if you are worried about your job.

In response to my previous question, I was also thinking about an engineering degree. Would that be useful also? I'm sure you don't get this enough, thanks for your service and all that you do. I wish there were more people like you in the world.

Asked by Jimmy over 11 years ago

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.

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