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.

(continued) Again I have a lot of respect for police officers and I know its both physical and very mental too. I just want to know what you think. Also if I go to a top-rate university how could I use that to become a police officer?

Asked by Phillip over 11 years ago

You can spend a lot of money at a "top rate" university, but it won't help you become a police officer any more than going to a regular state university.  It will help you get deeper in debt, though.

If your desire is to go to a college, please do so.  If your desire is to be a police officer, consider entering military service, getting some life experience and a skill.  Read through my prior answers on this above.

Best of luck.

is it legal in Minnesota for a man to video record my 16 year old son in his own back yard? We find it hard to enjoy our backyard for fear he is recording us.

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

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?

Asked by DS about 11 years ago

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