Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Check your local laws.

How come people with hearing aids still can't seem to hear?
It varies from department to department. One agency allowed for a 30 minute break, while another allowed for 45 minutes. Of course, you were still subject to calls during these breaks.
Share Answer: 
You can call. Please don't cause an accident by calling while driving to report someone else on their phone while driving.
Share Answer: 
You should contact the recruiter for the department you want to work for.
