    Gun training

    I actually don't think that people should be able to have guns at all, but I suppose that is an issue for another debate entirely, isn't it. But if guns do have to be a part of society, then I don't think that people should be able to have them until they are adults. They need to understand not...

    Do you believe your local police earn their paychecks?

    Yes, the officers who work in the town that I live in certainly earn their money, because the truth is that they do an absolutely fantastic job. There is plenty to keep them busy, as there are some rough areas, and they always know that their lives are in danger when they are responding to...

    Should we cry for perpetrators who are beaten in custody?

    Firstly, I think that it is important that people understand what being behind bars is actually about. Usually, it is hoped that people can be rehabilitated, at least to a certain extent, and this should mean at some point they were able to come back into society and be members who contribute...

    I was backing up out of a parking spot

    Where I live, insurance companies don't take any kind of responsibility for things that happen on car parks, because they are private property, and so many different types of accidents happen there. As a result, we would be lucky to have a payout. From what you have typed, if the car knew that...

    Would you turn a loved one in?

    This is a very difficult thing to think about, for a number of reasons. The main thing to think about would be that you love the person, but they had taken somebody else's life. So although you want the best for them, there's no way that you can be on their side in this situation. Also, if it...

    Soldier become officer or other way around?

    I would think that it would be much more likely that you would go from the army to the police rather than the other way round, but I am sure that there are some exceptions to my assumption. I think that the skills that you learn in the army, most of them relating to discipline, could be really...

    When Shoudn't You Use Pepper Spray?

    I think that one of the most difficult things about being a police officer is being able to choose the right thing to do in whatever situation you might be in at the time. For example, if you are in danger, a certain amount of the decision making will be to do with your immediate reactions to...

    Quotas?

    Where I am from, there is a quota for parking offences, because there are so many to be found that you simply have to give officers something to work towards during the day to make sure that they're processing things as quickly as possible. When it comes to other offences, however, I don't find...

    More children killed by guns found in the home

    I have said this before, and I will say it again - nobody should be able to have a gun unless they need them for their job, for example if you're a farmer or something like that. Even then, all guns and ammunition should be registered, so that people know exactly what you have, and where it's...

    NYPD Polce Commissioner Blames Colorado Weed Legalization For Increased Shootings

    It is interesting to hear the debate, but honestly, I believe that things will be much safer if it is legal, because then at least people are able to buy it from reputable sources, which means that you can be sure what it is in. The types of drugs that are sold on the street are obviously not...

    Video: The Dangers of Policing

    I think that this video is great, because more people do need to be aware of all of the dangers that our force go through just to make sure that the general public is safe on a daily basis. I know of a lot of people who have been through injuries because they have been trying to capture somebody...

    Community Policing

    I think that is is absolutely essential to be able to get the community involved in policing whenever there is the chance to do so. Because don't forget that the people who actually commit crimes are also a part of the community, so if you do everything that you can in order to stop them from...

    Why Psychos Should Never Be Released From Jail

    I don't think that there can ever be one specific rule for whether people should be allowed to be free or not. I think that each individual person should have to go through an assessment process to see whether a) they are showing any remorse for what they did b) whether their actions were as a...

    Do you have to answer the door to police?

    You don't have to open the door and they will not be able to arrest you or force entry unless they have reason to believe that it is imperative that they do so. However I am not sure of exactly why you would not want to open the door to the police, because they will usually have an excellent...

    Toddler Killed By Family Dog, Police Say

    I hate seeing children hurt by animals, but the one thing that rings true is the fact that you really do not know what an animal is capable of, because you just cannot communicate with them in the same way that you might be able to talk to a human being. It is a shame, but I would urge all...

    Police Taser Musician For ‘Playing Tambourine Too Loudly’

    Well, I am not entirely sure of what the correct way to respond would be, but I certainly would not have used a taser. If anything, if it is a legal offence to be playing an instrument this loudly, I think that I would much prefer to arrest the person than cause physical harm to them. Obviously...

    Why do many police forces around the world not carry guns?

    I think that if guns are carried, there is much more of a temptation to use them, whereas if you choose not to do so you might be able to solve the issue in another way, for example by talking or by using another form of law enforcement. Lots of people die because they are shot by the police...

    11 Year Old Girl Murders Baby

    It makes me seriously worry about the state of the world when you get things like this happening, when children are killing other children. I have no idea of the types of things that must be going on in their home life in order to make them want to do this, or feel that they should be able to do...

    How to report "cyber" crime?

    I see that type of thing posted on a lot of forums that I visit, but I have never been able to report it to anybody before, because the fact is that although what they're offering might well be illegal, they cannot really do anything about it because of the simple fact that they have so many...

    Friends in the academy: Helpful or distraction?

    I think it depends how you think about it. It can often be helpful to have somebody who you can talk to about the process, and about what you might be expecting from it in the future, however you shouldn't allow it to distract you from the tasks that you have to complete. It can be very tempting...
