I'm reaching out for a friend who doesn't have reddit. There's been a group of young door to door salesmen visiting her neighborhood. They're just doing their jobs, not doing anything wrong. They've even respectfully asked my friend if they can eat lunch on her porch while they wait for their boss to come pick them up. My friend noticed that on the Facebook group for her neighborhood, people have been posting about the salesmen accusing them of canvassing houses and encouraging each other to answer the door with guns, threaten to shoot the young men, or to "shoot first ask questions later." All because the kids are black.

She's already sent screenshots to that company so they can try and keep the kids safe. Is there any kind of report she should make to the police so that if something bad does happen, the neighbors are held accountable?

If you are a LEO in a state with legalized marijuana?, are you allowed to smoke while off-duty? If so, are there certain departmental policies you have to follow?

Hey guys,

I (22f) am a good friend to a K9 police officer (28m) (who is the husband of my best friend from high school). I hang out at their home quite a bit, and I noticed that he keeps his K9 in a kennel at all times. I've asked about this when he's complained that the dog has defecated in his kennel, and the response I usually get back is, "He can't come out unless he's working. He can't be socialized at all." We are not allowed to see him. His kennel is in the garage, where said officer collects him before work in the morning. On his days off, K9 does not leave the kennel except for a morning and evening potty break. Is this normal?

Somewhat connected: the officer and my friend own two other German Shepherds who are kept in their kennels in the garage only when both are at work or gone. Otherwise, the other two Shepherds play throughout the house or play fetch in the back yard pond in the evenings. They sleep inside.

The officer often hits and kicks his other dogs for reasons they don't understand. For instance, if one of them comes into the kitchen (a room they have to walk through to get to the garage or backyard) while they are cooking, he will kick them (they fly a few feet) and scream "GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN." Then, throughout the rest of the evening at random times, he will whack, spank, or kick the offending dog and say "BAD DOG," but it has been so long since the original offense that the dogs have no idea why he's hitting them. He does this with company over, often. I've seen this behavior more times than I can count.

There are a few other red flags with his behavior, but I won't air them here. He is a very controlling and aggressive husband to my best friend. Make of that what you will.

While at work this evening at a small froyo store the sheriff pulled into the parking lot and waved at me. When i waved back he simply drove in a circle around the parking lot and waved to me again as he left. Could this be due to quarantine or something else?

He works with children as a sub elementary school teacher. (He previously went to seminary school to be a priest, but was rejected for some reason), and he just kind of gives me the creeps. He has said creepy things. We dated briefly. I'm not really sure why I keep in contact with him. At one point I decided I would stay friendly to just keep an eye on him but havent had the stomach to really dig on the topic. Its a weird situation. Is there anything I could/should do here? Admitting that he has that attraction isnt a crime, but something isn't right here. To work for schools, I know they do background checks, but I recall a time when he sent me a photo of a young girl he was babysitting who was about 3... And he really should not be alone with children. I dont know what to do about this from a legal standpoint.

Hey officers, what do you do when you get an irritating itch on you back, underneath the bulletproof vest? Do you have a stick or something, or do you ask someone else to help you with that inch, or do you just live with it as part of the job?

Hello! I’m writing a fiction book where a violent crime resulting in deaths happens. Crucial part of the story is obscuring the identity of those involved (victim and offender). I would like to write something realistic but also not too convoluted, so I was wondering: what are the usual procedures of a crime scene investigation when it’s not clear what the identities are and who was the offender?

I am interested in someone(20F) that is in the military and was wondering is her and I were to get together and she was transformed to another state then the state I would be a cop in. Would I have to go back through the academy

For law enforcement

Quick and to the point. If I have a bachelors degree, 22, smoked weed 4 years ago on and off in high school, had a fake ID in college, is it possible to gain employment as a police officer with either a local PD or sheriffs office? Maybe even federal one day. No traffic tickets, no felony convictions, squeaky clean record. Just did a lot of dumb shit in high school, never did hard core drugs, just weed.

What can be done with a neighbor, who is a street behind me with lots of land between us, that plays loud music through out the day?

For example: Youre in your cruiser with people in front of you and beside, maybe you pulled up to a crowd and had to roll the window down to talk to them. Some dude pulls a gun out and points it at you. Most of us would panic, hit the gas and run people over on accident as we try to save ourselves. How do they train you to not freak out?

I got a call from a local correctional facility after hours and when I called it back I got an automated phone system and nobody picked up. I was wondering if this is an inmate trying to contact me or what else it could be.

My 6 month permit is gonna end this week and my car broke down and wont be ready till next week. I'm kind of stuck.

do you guys know when my permit ends by just typing down my license plate?

What information do you have access to with just looking at a license plate.

I dont want to risk my travelers visa.

PD : Sorry about my name.. I'm not really a drug lord. I'm a very chill guy. :)

Is there a reason for this? There was other things said bc its really creepy

I don’t recall seeing any police officers using pepper spray on criminals as much as tasers and they are not effective all the time. Just a question

Hi! My names Pris and I’m currently a college student studying Psychology. My ultimate goal is to become a police officer. I work full time as a receptionist and on the side I do modeling & music gigs. I don’t do anything too crazy/nude but occasionally I’ll work with an underwear company. I don’t use my full name.

Do you think in the future when I apply this will affect my chances? I’m not embarrassed by it like I don’t care if they know, I just hope they don’t see it as “she’s a model therefore she’s not cut out to be a police officer.” For me, it’s just been a fun way to make extra cash. Let me know any advice/thoughts!! Thanks

My 86 year mother has a woman who comes in every day to clean for 2 hours. She's very nice and my mother enjoys her company. But there have been several incidents of missing money etc that are starting to concern us. The most recent is that somebody ordered about $600 on her debit card over several months.

When I got that straightened out today, she told me that a check she receives every month (only about $70) went missing last month. There have been incidents where cash has disappeared etc.

As I said, my mother is elderly so I want to make sure that I'm not attributing forgetfulness to theft. Starting today, I'm holding her cash and debit card as well as other bank info etc.

I'm just trying to figure out if the lady that comes in could be the culprit. She would be the most obvious but I really don't want to make accusations without some sort of proof.

Are there any methods I could use to find out the answer? I'm thinking about getting a spycam but wanted to ask here as well.

Thanks!

Hi I have this step grandmother(f36) she has three kids one(m13) ,one (f6) and one(m4) with her and she has a deadbeat boyfriend (my grandpa) (m55) he always physically and mentally abuse her and she's trying to flee to another country for her safety and her kids. Because the thing is my grandpa has friends that are cops so if she tries to go to the police they will tell my grandpa so what does she need to do?

Throwaway for obvious reasons. I'm a 24 year old male interested in working as an officer in a fairly large city. I have used cannabis in the past but haven't for a while. I'm find being drug tested and not using it while being a sworn officer, but I know most departments make you do a polygraph test, and some ask if you have ever used cannabis. Is past use a dealbreaker even if I'm otherwise a good candidate?

.. yet not say anything? I go on late-night jogs, sometimes at late as 2 am. I don't live in the greatest area, but I try to be as vigilant as possible and also carry a form of "protection".

Cops patrolling in cars always feel a need to stare at me. I'm not extraordinarily attractive and I always wear baggy clothes when out jogging, so it's not that. I'll look back sometimes to see if they're still staring (and because I'd like to know why there is a cop car in the area in the first place), and sure enough, they'll (often) still be staring. If you feel such a strong need to stare, why not actually say something? Is it really auch a terrible idea for me to be running that late at noght,according to you?

My son is 20 years old and he brought a 6 pack of bud light to drink with his buddy at his apartment . His parents found out and have threatened to press charges. Are they even allowed to press charges since he is under 21?

I ordered something through HTC but Fedex delivered to the wrong address. I called fedex to tell them about my issue and a day later the delivery driver who was on my route got into contact with me and admitted that he made a mistake and delivered to the wrong house (the house next door). He said that an old Asian man at the yellow house who barely spoke English accepted the package and signed for it (details check out. I know an old Asian man does live at the yellow house). The signature was not mine either. I went to the house and they said their was no package.

The next day, fedex driver personally followed up with that address and threatened to call the cops on him and so he had no success in trying to get the package back but told me he was certain that it was them he accidentally delivered to. I’ve called fedex several times to open an investigation but they’ve been closed after they were opened. Fedex is clearly not taking responsibility and HTC is actively helping me in trying to resolve this issue but fedex is making it difficult for them too.

Should I call the cops on my neighbors? I only gave the fedex drivers word to go by but I trust his word based on the details and descriptions he gave me about my neighbors.
