If police just show up to a girls house, and speak with their mom, and they tell her she has to come into the police station as a summons, and the mother says that 1 minute before they showed up she saw her ex drive past the house, what is going on?

I don't know. You should ask the officers on scene.

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.

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.

Do officers always radio when they show up somewhere? If a bunch of officers are showing up at a scene and there is a lot of talk on the radio over a situation that is developing quickly, will units arriving wait until later to report their arrival?

Asked by Job over 12 years ago

Yes, any time an officer arrives at the scene of a call, makes a traffic stop, rolls up on an undispatched incident, or does pretty much anything, he/she calls it in on the radio. It is a safety issue. Most patrol cars have GPS and are constantly tracked by dispatch also.

Can you go into more detail about the procedures that help officers in trouble get on the radio if there is less important talk going on? (You said "yes" but not examples.) Thank you!
