    Dispatchers Deserve More Credit Than They Get?

    They are the lynch pin and the ones that direct the right people to the right places. It's not an easy job by any means and you (I assume) have to weigh up how urgent something is and get information quickly and calmly.

    Baltimore Gangs Team Up To Take Out Police Officers

    It's sad that the media assist in reporting this. Racial tensions will always exist, but will be more intense in certain areas. I hope that people can see past it all and work together at some point. This behavior doesn't help, nor does it create justice.

    Degree or LEO first?

    I would also say a degree first as it may open more doors. You can always read up on laws and other protocols in the meantime which helps with exams in the police force when people get promoted. There may also be positions available to those with a degree only, or a fast track program.

    California Law Regarding Realistic Looking Replica Guns

    Fake guns are harder to spot and usually when you find out they are , it's too late. The law helps, but it doesn't solve the issue as people will still flout the law. I hear they make real guns in pink now anyhow, so that will still make it difficult to distinguish between what is real and fake.

    Positivity - Stories of People Helping Others (Including Animals)

    There are some kind and thoughtful people out there. I once found a handbag in the street and I could have left it there as my friends said it might be a bomb. It had two phones in, cash and keys so I found a doctor's appointment card inside and it was nearby so I took it there as she must have...

    What a reunion!

    People should remember the police do good things. I read also the biological father has come forward and the mother as well. He is lucky and it's great that he has closure on everything now.

    Woman Arrested For Trying To Kill a Police Officer

    It's the highest charge they can go for, then it's proving it. She stole the weapon and one must assume that a weapon is stolen for the aim to kill someone. It may get reduced to assault or threat using a deadly weapon. Because she did use the gun and injured the police officer it can be...

    Is making homophobic remarks an arrestable offence where you are?

    It's a good point to make that homosexuality is still illegal in other countries and tourists and travelers should respect this and not impose their views. The best thing is to be neutral and politically correct, however some gay people like to promote their sexuality which can make people...

    Proposed Federal Laws For NYPD Training

    These guidelines seem to a result of concerns of public perception rather than behaviors. It's about being politically correct and making sure that the public have no ammunition against them. Some need to be told what is now politically correct because society changes, in how to address people...

    Anonymous tip lines

    You could do it online and go to an internet cafe and send the email. I did that once for MI5 when I had a tip off I knew about, but for legal reasons I couldn't say anything as I was still under a confidential contract at the time. Otherwise you can post an anonymous note. There are lots of...

    Internet trolls and getting caught

    Trolling a victim or a celebrity or a member of their family can be construed as a threat and the law is developing here where trolls are being caught and punished. Most come out with the line,' I was online, I didn't think it counted,'. Some recent incidents were a celebrity's daughter was...

    Officer IQ

    A high IQ doesn't mean someone is better because I know many with a high IQ who have little common sense and poor social skills. These are more important to be a police officer, to be able to communicate with others and understand what is going on. Intelligence is one thing but putting theories...

    Internet trolls and getting caught

    I have a friend who was cyber bullied at school and even though it was over 15 years ago, it still scars her and she is a tough cookie. Just like it's wrong to to lie about someone or hit them, doing it online is no different, except it is preserved on the web. I am shocked some people have...

    Internet trolls and getting caught

    As the internet is global, imagine someone defaming you and you didn't know about it and it ruined your chances of a job or ruined a relationship? How would you feel? Consider someone writes something nasty and untrue about you because you got a job they wanted or their boyfriend left you for...

The police are coordinating international aid efforts as they will know where help is needed the the most as well as helping civillians. In time like this the country must unite and the surrounding countries too, which includes Tibet...

    Internet trolls and getting caught

    Most people don't troll online because they are responsible and you can be tracked down. Why would it be fun to make someone feel bad and be mean to them? I'm a great believer of karma, if you put out bad thoughts then they will find a way back to you. Maybe in online games people accept it...

    Police helping in natural disasters

    The earthquake in Nepal is now reporting many deaths and unsafe structures. The police and army will be out to help everywhere as the country has limited resources. The police isn't just about criminals and justice, they also help in times of need when there is no one else to ask for help or...

    Do you think some rules are meant to be broken?

    Some 'bad' rules need to be broken and in time they get changed and adapted. This applies more to laws that have evolved and they need to be made contemporary and more adaptable to an evolving society. It's different from people who disrespect rules and take no notice of them, rather than look...

    Do people join the police for the benefits?

    There are other roles in the police force, desk work, dog handlers and roles that have more sociable hours. I think it depends on the community, if it's a close knit one, people will want to join. Communities that are violent and have high levels of crime may not be as attractive. People with...

    Missouri town responds to officer exodus after election of black female mayor

    Re: Article: Missouri town responds to officer exodus after election of black female It goes to show how narrow minded people are. Resigning without notice also means loss of benefits in some cases and it's sad that people can't think for themselves. Maybe it is better that they find new...
