Are police officers given a discrimate test before becoming a officer of the people?
Q. I was just wondering this. I live in a small town and the police officers here are really racists. They say they're not but they are. If your're riding the wrong vehicle they will be quick to pull you over. Why isn't there some test that test how discrimate a person is before becoming a police officer? Sorry about the spelling... Discriminate..I tend to type too fast..haha

A. Isn't there a Spelling test YOU have to take before trying to insult Police Officers? It's spelled "Discriminate" as in a "Discrimination Test" and there is no such thing, but I'll bet they are no more racist than you are by stereotyping all your town Police Officers. Why don't you worry a little less about those Awful Meanies and concentrate more on your academic endeavors Sweetie? Who knows, maybe with the right education you could be the next Chief Of Police and change things for the better.

Are police officer pensions, health and other benefits great after 25 years of service?
Q. Hi all! I'm planning on becoming a police officer and I'm already in the process of really researching the career out from top to bottom. Are police officer pensions and benefits great after 25 years of service? In general, in today's dollars and excluding future inflation, could I expect to get at least $2,500 per month after retirement in net pay plus great health and other benefits? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A. Well I can tell you this, at the federal level it is outstanding, not sure about the local and state level. Economists believe that law enforcement is the only true recession proof career! America needs good people because we have some trying times ahead. The best advice I can give you regarding retirement is contribute heavily to your 401K!

What is the difference between a warrant officer and other officers?
Q. because i hear you can be a warrant officer with an associate's degree (2 year) can they be full time? are all the jobs open to officers also open to warrant officers?
Asked by Fallen - Thu Jan 29 01:28:52 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Warrant officers are specialist in their field and are appointed as Warrants. Officers are commisoned as officers and are more of managers. jobs for officers are not open to warrant officers for the most part. warrants are usually like Mechanics, pilots, detectives. officers have specialist jobs like Lawyers, doctors and dentis, but they are usually not expert of anything except commanding units. you don't need any degree to be warrant officer, however, you need to hold NCO rank unless you wand to go as an aviator. officers need 90 college credit to commission through OCS and Bachelars through ROTC.

What us army officer branches should my husband consider?
Q. My husband is 29 and trying to make the final decision on what officer branches to consider. He got his degree in Liberal arts (theater) and has been doing corporate mngmnt for 6 yrs. The recruiter told him to make a wishlist for what branches he might be interested in. He also said in the end it makes no difference what you want to do if you are an officer.

Regarding the Gates incident: Is an officer required to provide identification if a citizen asks for it?
Q. There is a great controversy, as you know, surrounding the arrest of Henry Louis Gates at Cambridge. What seems to be left out of this debate, at least in regard to my own experience of it, is whether or not the officer was obliged to provide Mr. Gates with his name and badge number. Well then, if an officer approaches a citizen in an attempt to investigate a complaint, is the officer required to provide the citizen with his name and badge number if he's asked for it?
Asked by bradwelljackson - Thu Jul 23 06:25:21 2009 - - 9 Answers - 1 Comments

A. An officer does need to give his name and badge - it will also be on the police report. Gates was an idiot to not recognize that the cops were just doing their duty in responding to a possible burglary. What - he expected them to believe that old people can't be burglars. Contempt of cop was what got him that ticket. I hate when people try to pull the race card instead of realize they were wrong!

Their are certain times a police officer is lawfully allowed to enter a residence?
Q. When can an officer enter a house? Can you please give me some examples... If an officer is not authorized to enter a house, how can a officer get access to the house?
Asked by Hales - Tue Jun 17 20:04:56 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. With your permission, with a search warrant or when there's exigent circumstances (someone yelling for help after a 911 call, a fire, or any other emergency situation where the officer needs to enter to protect someone's life). If the officer is "not" authorized, he better not go in. Police departments have been successfully sued because officers push their way into underaged drinking parties. Oh..I forgot about "hot pursuit". If I catch someone breaking the law outside (some examples are committing a domestic battery, breaking into cars, whatever...) and that person flees from me after being told they're under arrest, I have the right to continue to pursue that person into a house. Even if it's not his. AND I can kick the door in if he… [cont.]

What is the difference between a correctional officer and a police officer?
Q. I saw that at some places a correctional officer made more than police officers. I am just unknowing about this, I thought they were pretty much the same. Why would the training be shorter for one that than the other?
Asked by spoiledbrat788 - Sat Mar 14 21:01:33 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A correctional officer and a police officer in most states are both peace officers. This means that they both have the authority to make arrests, carry firearms. The significant difference between the two is that a correctional officer is employed in an institutional setting, that is a jail or prison. A police officer generally works a patrol function out on the street. However, some might consider a correctional officer a police officer of their particular facility.

Asked by mustangcrazy00 - Sat Mar 28 00:38:26 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can either apply as a direct select and stay in your branch, or you can apply as a college op while active. Either way you can do it after about 3 years in I think. College ops means you go in OCS not knowing what branch you'll get. Direct select takes time, and if you are selected you'd have to wait over a year most times. For more info visit ArmyOCS.com

Asked by Court F - Sat Apr 5 16:00:23 2008 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Honesty, Attitude, Circumstance. The first rule on being pulled over, is never give the officer an attitude. That is just asking for a ticket. The second rule is be honest. If the officer says I stopped your for going through a red light, dont respond by saying " what red light". Admit that you didnt stop. If you believe you did stop, then argue that in court if you get a ticket, not on the street. And circumstance. When we stop a car we ask the person driving. "Ma'am/Sir is there any reason why you ( state what they did)". If they went through the stop sign, they might say yes i went through the stop sign, im sorry but my childs school just called and said he is being taken to the hospital... Circumstance plays a big part.

Not exactly sure how long the schools are for Army officers but i will say this, I am currently stationed with an Army intel unit, they are hurting bad for intel officers and you would most likely get a nice bonus to sign up for that program, so make sure you ask for it, and you will also get a nice security clearance out of the deal in which you can get out after you do your time and make 100G+ a year working for the government as a civilian.

Asked by Dima - Sat Oct 4 20:45:26 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's far easier to enlist. Officers have all basic the physical requirements for enlisted men, stricter psychological requirements (regarding criminal record, evidence of loyalty, judgement, etc), and also MUST have a four-year college degree--no exceptions. However you can go to a military school (Annapolis, West Point, AFA, or one of the state military academies (e.g. the Citadel)) or take ROTC training at nearly any school, and they'll foot your bill for a bachelor's degree and you're an officer straight out of school. But your social life will revolve around the military, FYI.

Is a security officer required to silence on the whereabouts of absent workers?
Q. Okay, let me explain a bit better; if a security officer is asked to work double shifts to cover for the 3rd shift officer, who is no longer working there, is he allowed to divulge this relieved officer's whereabouts or not give any info to co-workers why he is gone? Haha, great answer. My thoughts exactly.
Asked by !!$$%%^^ - Thu May 7 17:23:26 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That would probably depend on the security company's policy. In most cases the officer on duty would not give out information on a co-worker even if he had it! The other thing that comes to mind is ... did the officer on duty know where the relieved officer was? He may have told people just what he knew at the time ... "I don't know where the guy is, but he ain't here!"

A. There are Officers and Enlisted in all branches of the military. The basic idea is that Officers are in charge and Enlisted are the workers. Now it is much, much more complicated than this in reality, but that is the basic idea. Every Officer outranks every Enlisted person regardless of how long either one has been in the service. In order to become an Officer you have to either already have a Bachelor's degree from college or complete your degree with a year and a half after being commissioned as an Officer. An Enlisted person will never become an Officer no matter how many times they get promoted unless they decide to start all over at the very bottom of the Officer totem pole.

A. The arrested officer may get some professional deference as a colleague, but at the end of the day, the law applies the same to all of us. If you are the officer arrested, the agency you work for will know pretty quickly. They usually suspend the officer, or depending on the charge, might place them in an administrative position pending the outcome of the investigation and trial, if there is one. The suspension may be paid or unpaid, again depnding on the charge and the circumstances of the arrest. I wish I could say that the law is applied evenly across the board, but we all know that it's not, at least before the courtroom it's not. I have seen, and even worked with some officers who didn't "get what they deserved". Ultimately, any… [cont.]
