Ask a Police Officer anything

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

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.

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.

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.

(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 12 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.

So it's okay that they put down concrete on their lawn, 10 feet into my property, which caused water runoff that flooded my basement more than once? Plus they leave lit camp fires outside over night right next to building supplies.

As was probably already explained to you, it is a civil issue. Contact an attorney and sue them if you so desire.
