I called 911 because i was knocking on my friends door multiple times no answer and when we went round back there was muffled arguing. My friend said she had an abusive stepdad however when officers arrived, police confirmed it was neighbours noise bouncing back to their house and nobody was home but said we did the right thing. Now my friend's mum is saying she'll report me and my friends to police for tresspassing and cauding a nuicance and how we should be "scared" did i do a good thing or not?

Asking cops out there what’s the more respectful title and obviously if the persons not saying it in a condescending way

My boyfriend is graduating from the police academy soon. And as a graduation gift for him I got him a patrol bag and I would like to put some things in it that could be useful.

Any ideas?

Is it like interfering with police business? What about the ones at airports?

Thought you all might like this lol.

How should someone report to law enforcement if they believe they have experienced directed energy weapon attacks, similar to those associated with the historical Moscow Signal incident? What information should be included in the police report.

If I live somewhere and I haven't been there for a week or two, but have the key to the place does that give my roommate the right to go through my stuff? And if anything was taken could I legally get cops involved

Also his gun was a novelty glass bottle that was shaped like a gun.

Does anybody remember a somewhat viral video of a black man, I believe he was wearing a blue shirt. He had gotten stopped and frisked for whatever reason, and once they told him he was free to leave, he made sure he wasn’t gonna get in trouble for showing them the gun they missed. So he ends up pulling it out from his waistband, and the female officer asks him if she can see it real quick, & the guy tells her no and that’s the end of the video. I searched and searched for this video and I cannot find it anywhere, so I’m wondering if anybody else remembers seeing it & can point me in the right direction for the video.

Don't make fun of me... I have an associate degree in criminal justice, which I got with the intention of becoming a police officer, but after doing several ride alongs, and by having friends who do remote work, I realized that remote work is more what I'm interested in. I have a friend who is a police detective and he goes into work most days but some days he works from home and just does reports. I'm wanting to join the force and be streamlined into a position where I would primarily be working from home, ideally almost 100% of the time but I'm open to something where I would be coming in a couple of days per week. Are there police officer positions like this?

On April 13, 2024, the York Regional Police located a stolen white Acura that is connected to an April 1st vehicle theft, April 7th carjacking, and April 12th collision with a Toronto Police vehicle. Hold Up Unit detectives, assisted by the Emergency Response Unit moved to take down the vehicle in a mall in Markham, Ontario. ERU officers first threw a stun grenade and boxed the vehicle in. Three suspects fled with one tossing a pistol midway. All suspects were arrested after a brief foot pursuit.

I feel like this is a question that so many people have. When you’re up that high and have minimal space, it seems like there’s very little you can do if someone is uncooperative. If the cops got up to the top and realized they were uncooperative, what’s the best move?

Very very sad situation here. Doing a commercial vehicle inspection, and lost when another truck crashed into the truck he was checking and caught fire.

Don’t get me wrong I think the piece of shit got what he deserved, but the officer stepped in front of a moving vehicle then shot in “self defense”. It’s also kind of a shame the guy was only 19. Maybe with some time in prison he could have changed into a better person.

Hi all. I'm a resident here in TN just south of Nashville, currently working as a 911 Dispatcher. I've been a 911 Dispatcher, plus a firefighter for some time now, and honestly looking for a change.

I've wanted to go into law enforcement for the longest time, and I've heard good and bad things about Metro Nash.

If anyone works for the department, or knows any more information other than what I could find on google, please let me know. Thank you.
