    Boy, 15, drowns...

    As part of the local police force in my area, I actually feel that it is my duty to help to inform people of the dangers of areas such as this. Drowning is becoming more and more common, and the simple fact is that far too many people (a) overestimate their abilities as swimmers and (b)...

    Police Arrest Woman For Using Vibrator On Baby

    This isn't just a "stupid" thing to do - it's absolutely cruel and abusive, and this woman should not be allowed to have any kind of access to the child again. I mean, why would anybody want to do something like that to a baby? Surely this woman can see just how inappropriate it is? And if she...

    Officer on leave pending investigation into Facebook posts

    I think that social networking presents a number of worrying problems for people in many professions, and this is the main reason that I don't use my account for anything other than sending private messages to friends and family members on their birthdays. Nothing that I say is made public...

    Getting myself ready to begin the police academy

    It goes without saying that this is probably going to be one of the hardest experiences of your entire life, if not THE hardest experience. But it will also be one of the most rewarding ones when you get to the end of your training and manage to get a job that is going to help a lot of people...

    What does Policemen/Women do for relaxation?

    Relaxation is important in any job, but particularly in a job like this that is just so stressful. One of the things that I like to do is go for long walks, because it allows me to stop thinking about the things that have stressed me out during the course of the day, and it also helps to keep me...

    Cops shoot and kill man holding a toy gun in Walmart

    I don't know what must have been going through the man's mind to point the gun at the police officer in the first place, much less what must have made him keep hold of it when he was told to put it down. He should know that if the police had any thoughts that their lives might be in danger, they...

    What should I do?

    I think if you were to go down the route of the military, you would be entering into a job that would have a much better chance of supporting both yourself and your family in the long term. You do have to think carefully about where it is that your passions lie, though, because if it's not...

    Got tased, worst thing ever!

    Not nice, I know. But at least now you know what it feels like, and you can start to think about ways in which you could deal with the situation if it happened when you weren't expecting it to. It is all part of the training, and it is a stage that you have now got through, so you should be very...

    Should I wear glasses or contacts?

    Honestly, if you feel as though you could be comfortable with contact lenses in, it is much better idea. If you have to use any kind of physical force against somebody, you run the risk of breaking your glasses and possibly injuring yourself if the broken glass harms you. If you have broken your...

    Open Container Question

    It really depends what happens when you get pulled over. If somebody in the back seat, for example, is drinking quietly and the driver hasn't touched it then you might get away with it. If however you have a group of people and everybody but the driver is drinking, then they might decide to do...

    Is there such a thing as a no self defense law

    I was under the impression that you could use a weapon against somebody in most countries if it was thought that your life would be in danger if you didn't. You do have to be careful though. You can't just use a weapon because you feel a little bit scared, or because somebody is near you, you do...

    Responding to a call.

    This is a terrible thing to happen, and I am so sorry that it has happened to you. A lot of the time, the police have so little time to do anything that they have to make very difficult and fast decisions about which reports they should follow up, but the unfortunate thing is that sometime they...

    I am so pumped and ready to go!

    I'm glad you feel as though you're all ready to go, because you can be certain that this will be one of the most difficult things that you have ever done. That being said, although it will be hard, you can be equally as certain that it will be one of the most rewarding times as well, and it can...

    School asks officer not to wear uniform or sidearm while picking up daughter

    I genuinely think that this is a ridiculous thing to go and do. These days, children are protected so much that they don't fear anyone. And anyway, the police are not people to be afraid of, they are people who children need to learn to respect. They should know that they're there, and that they...

    Cop movie mistakes

    It's true, there are many mistakes in movies like that, but it is because of the fact that people just don't have enough time to do their research properly, and mistakes like this don't really impact on the movie to too great an extent. The audience can still enjoy it. I am sure that you would...

    Police chief mistakes daughter, 16, for intruder and shoots her

    Things like this seem to be happening more and more often. I feel that this is what happens when people think with their guns instead of with their minds. There is no way that this poor girl should have been shot at before he was sure that she was an intruder. It's not as though it's somebody...

    Look there's a policeman

    I don't think it's a bad thing that kids have something to think about when it comes to the way that they behave, but sometimes I hear parents saying things about their children being put in jail for doing things like not tidying their room and things like that, which I think is cruel. Children...

    He was drunk and High when he came to pick up my son

    You did not over-react at all, so please don't waste your time worrying that you did. There is no way that this man should have been in this state when he was anywhere near your son, and there isn't a chance that I would have let any child of mine be treated in such a way. Your son is the most...

    Noisy neighbors

    If you call the police, there is no reason that they should find out that it was you who did it. There must be other people who walk by your home and hear things going on if you are able to hear it, so it stands to reason that there could be others who would want to report them. It is your duty...

    physical aspect of the police academy compare to military basic training

    I honestly think that on the whole, the military training is more strict and difficult, however you might not find that because everyone is different, and some people adapt better to different challenges. All that you can really do is to get yourself into the best physical condition that you...
