I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
If the "victim" looks scared to death and shys away whenever the "aggressor" is in his immediate error would be one good clue. If you go by the cell or other enclosed semi-private area and see the "victim" performing an act of fellatio on the "aggressor" with a knife to his throat would be another pretty good clue.

Good question. I am not sure I have as good answer. A person on bond is still in a form of constructive custody, but you are legally in the custody of the bondsman and not the government. My educated guess is YES. However, were I her, I would NOT do so until your legal matters had been fully adjudicated or it could result in some fallout in her direction.

Sorry, but there were no regulations concerning ink when I was working. I am unaware if there are any now. Wish I could be more helpful. I BELIEVE the officer orientation packet for California is on line, you could probably access it and see what it has to say.

I'm sorry, when you wrote and said you weren't supposed to CALL I thought you meant you were not suppose to CALL. If what you really meant is you are not supposed to contact them in any fashion then probably you should not contact them.

If the felon is still under the jurisdiction of the department (i.e. on parole, probation or other sort of supervised release) then the short answer is YES. In most jurisdictions it is actually a crime for a staff member, especially a peace officer, to engage in a sexual relationship with a person under the jurisdiction of their department due to the power imbalance. It is legally considered rape and is likely to get the officer fired and prosecuted. If the relationship is merely social and not sexual (which might be hard to prove) it would still get the officer fired. Even if the person is no longer on parole, probation or whatever there are still POSSIBLE problems relating to access to firearms and ammunition. This is one of those questions you might want to run by a lawyer in your state for hard facts.

I don't know for sure but my guess is YES, assuming you clear the psych of course. Whether you WILL be called for the December academy is another matter. I don't know how quickly they fill up, what the last-minute no-show rate is or any of that stuff any more. In any event, congrats, premature though that may be

What happens next is that someone, usually a Lieutenant, holds a hearing on the administrative charge and determines what, if any, punishment will be applied.
