Our community is making more of an effort with community policing but it doesn't seem to be working very well so far. So far this week the areas they were trying it in have had three drive by shootings in three days and the week is not over yet.

I can't stand the woman's personality so I don't watch her show. I actually think that she is a bit exploitative of families who are already in crisis.

In the case of the husband and wife fighting that would be called exigent circumstances and they absolutely have the right to enter without permission or a warrant. If they believe that someone is being harmed, hear a gunshot, or anything like that they can legally enter. Now if they find...

I don't follow high profile cases on the television but I will keep up with them in the news. I don't have the patience to sit around and watch them on TV all day for weeks on end though.

Community policing definitely works to reduce crime but it can take time before you see the results. The officers in the community have to take the time to get to know the people in the community and give them time to trust them. Our community is making an effort to do this in some of the higher...

Officers around here bring home about $1,500 a month which is not nearly enough for what they do. Men and women certainly don't become police officers for the money around here!

I don't think that veteran cops should be sent back to the academy I think that they should be removed from duty or placed on desk duty where they no longer have any interaction with the public.

That is just sick and I am glad that they have finally caught the perpetrator. What kind of sick mind would do something like that, and in the Amish community no less!

A lot of times when I am bored I will try and pick up a new hobby. However, since I have had kids and started working from home there isn't a whole lot of time for me to be bored most days!

I have never been to court so I have not ever had an officer testify against me. Just like the defendant though they are under oath and everything they say must be truthful or they can be held in contempt of court for perjury.

I used to work for the county I live in and the employee photos for your id badge was taken in the same place that they take the mugshots for the jail. They were really attractive....Not! That being said I do think they make people look guilty. You know when they show them on the news they...

Technically, I guess yes, they could still prosecute you because not only did you steal, but you admitted to stealing. If I was the store owner though and someone returned merchandise like that I probably wouldn't prosecute. That takes a lot of courage.

No, police do not get promotions based on the number of tickets they hand out. That is just one of the many, many urban legends about the police that seem to spread around.

If a question asked by an officer doesn't pertain to the situation at hand then just don't answer them. Don't be rude about it, but just go on and act like you didn't hear it.

Driving too fast for conditions is a common reason for people to get tickets in rainy, foggy, or icy/snowy weather. It seems like people would know to slow down in those conditions but there are many people who pay little to no attention to them.

I am a stay at home mom, criminal justice student and freelance writer. I am not sure exactly what I want to do with my criminal justice degree just yet. I am leaning towards probation officer or paralegal. I definitely don't want to be a street cop.

Cop type shows are my favorites and I like Bones, CSI, Criminal Minds, Law and Order SVU, and Dexter. I like NYPD Blue as well even though it's an older one. I will have to check into some of the others you guys have mentioned.

Okay, this is a really standard practice, especially for snipers, and it has been ENCOURAGED by the Department of Homeland Security. Granted, this is not something that should be practiced on a public range, but it is a necessary part of law enforcement training. You can see the DHS targets...

Nope, I never stole anything but my husband did as a teen, stupid stuff like a Coke or a pack of cigarettes to smoke with his friends. To my horror, my oldest daughter stole a candy bar at the dollar store when she was about two and a half. I marched her right back in and paid for it and then...

I also feel that media coverage is extremely biased but in spite of all of the bad stories I like to be informed of what is going on, not only here but around the rest of the world too.
