I honestly don't believe this didn't happen. That is some crazy stuff right there! This is a book? Where can I get a copy to read it for myself?

Question: Is this going to be a contest that happens every month, or is this a contest that is a limited run? Just wondering! Thanks for all you guys do :)

It is so nice to meet you Alan! Welcome to the forum! How is it in Denmark? Are there high levels of crime at all? I can't wait to hear what you bring to the table! Not to mention hear about how law enforcement functions in your country :)

One of my professors is a police officer. He said that cops tend to let other cops slide on certain things because it is like a brotherhood. My professor also stated that by "turning in" one o their own can make their time in the force harder on them because other cops will be "out" for him...

I live in Florida and a friend of mine who went through the academy said it took him about 18 months. A lot of locations are requiring at least a 2 year degree and the police academy as requirements to be a police officer. I would definitely look into your local police district and see what...

I must say, this is pretty cool! I have been away for a month or so because work was super busy and then I'm in law school so I'm even busier on that front. Thanks for offering these cool contests and such! It's a way to give back to your participants! Have a great day everyone!!

I live in Orlando...we have so many police officers but I feel they don't do anything. People are running red lights, speeding, making illegal turns, just anything....and they just turn their head. I can imagine the turn over rate being pretty high. I think I may need to do a lot more research...

I'll never forget...one night I begged someone else to drive me home because I could barely walk...my friend (who didn't have a DL but was sober) refused....so I slept in my car for an hour or so to sober up. I don't see why people are so irresponsible when it comes to this kind of thing. Ever...

Would this small company be Metro PCS?? lol. They are the only ones I know that use those brands of phone. Those are great phones for a bit and then after about 6 months to a year they just turn to crap. They are decent phones though!

Thank you!!! I had no idea I could use financial aid! I may end up looking into it. I mean, investigation is something I'm REALLY good at and I think I would be amazing at it. My passion is law...so I'm torn...law school or police academy. Luckily I still have another like year or so to make...

I'm glad to hear it is interesting. I really believe I could learn a lot from this site...especially in the "ask a police officer" thread. Thanks!! I'm hoping by the time I finish my Bachelor's next year I don't change my mind and then just decide to not continue at school. I'm so ready to be...

We had a few FBI agents come and speak with one of my criminal justice classes and they said retirement is mandatory when they get into their 50's! The FBI agent that spoke to us also told us that FBI agents do not live extremely long after retirement either. I learned a lot from the guy. I'm...

I would hope no one would blame me. I just do not feel patrol officers get paid enough to deal with the things that they deal with on a day to day basis. What are my other options?

I say majority because where I am from...it is nothing but rude cops and cops that thing they are bigger and better than everyone. Orlando, Casselberry, Winter Park, Longwood, ESPECIALLY Altamonte...these cops around me are just horrible. I've met a handful of them. I have even walked up to cops...

I blame the parents for this 17 year old's actions. I mean, the parents should have stepped in when they saw mental instabilities within their child. This does not negate the fact that a crime was committed, however, as someone that is studying this type of behavior in college...this could have...
