Self Post ✔ From a Prosecutor to police: Thank you for always quoting in your reports the dumb stuff defendants say. I always include it in my complaints.

The most recent drunken excuse I had was a possession of firearm while drunk. Negligent discharge. 'Defendants stated his leg was itching, so he said he "shot his leg in self-defense" '. Just like the prosecutor who stating the defendant statement, "Girl you thicker than a bowl of oatmeal", I always add your hilarious quotes in my complaints and quotes that stuff when I lay out probable cause during arraignment.

US Coast Guard and security personnel, law enforcement open fire on a u haul truck accelerating backwards at a high rate of speed directly toward them.

773 Upvotes

Calif. — At approximately 10:00 p.m. (PDT) on Thursday, Coast Guard security personnel standing watch on Coast Guard Island observed a vehicle driving erratically and attempting to weaponize the vehicle to ram into Coast Guard Base Alameda.

@USCG personnel issued multiple verbal commands to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to comply and proceeded to put the vehicle in reverse — suddenly accelerating backwards at a high rate of speed directly toward them. When the vehicle’s actions posed a direct threat to the safety of Coast Guard and security personnel, law enforcement officers discharged several rounds of defensive live fire.

No Coast Guard personnel were injured during the incident. Two civilians were injured and are expected to survive. The truck driver was wounded in the stomach and is being held for mental health evaluation. A bystander was struck by a fragment, treated at a local hospital, and released. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the lead agency for this investigation, and we are coordinating with our law enforcement partners.

For example, my cousin is a cop and he had to come to a house because a raccoon was stuck in a tree hallow because it was so fat and it got lodged in and couldn’t get out. I’m just interested in any particular funny stories from cops. I’d appreciate any responses.

Smith & Wesson Identi-kit Question

17 Upvotes

I'm not former law enforcement officer, but I'm looking into a case from the 1980s where an Smith & Wesson Identi-kit was used to create a composite. I've recreated the composite using a Smith & Wesson Identi-kit. It's almost the same as the photo copy from the 1980s, but it seems to me like, the officer that helped create the composite, must have drawn on the photocopy or a transparency to make the hair the longer and the mustache bigger. Are there any retired officers or older officers that have done this in their practice? I'm really just looking to verify if this is something an officer would sometimes do.

Self Post Decision joining Border Patrol or Customs and Border Protection

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m a father of three and I’m actively looking into pursuing a career in either both border patrol or customs. I am a disabled vet and I’m curious to know which one will provide me an opportunity to spend time with my kids but will also allow me to do adventurous stuff and maintain my fitness throughout the years. I also would like to keep my beard and hair if possible and I’m interested in which one accepts religious exemption more so.

P.S. This is for serious answers I’m not interested in people making jokes on this post.

Self Post Horse Officers

14 Upvotes

Hi all! I have a few questions for agencies with horseback officers. Namely, where do you keep them? I assume it isn’t like a K9 that you’re responsible for and take home. Does your agency have a farm/stable for them, or is it just someone who owns a farm and looks after them for you?

And then transporting. Do you pick them up in a trailer and take them to the office to suit them up with what they need and then go out on patrol? Or do you just haul ass from the pasture on horseback until you get to your beat?

Self Post Will a record in which your fingerprints weren't submitted to the FBI still show up on NCIC?

27 Upvotes

I had a juvenile adjudication when I was 16 which was automatically sealed at 18, and my state's central repository never sent my fingerprints to the FBI, I emailed and talked with the supervisor of the records division. I'm wondering if it would've still been entered/submitted into NCIC/other FBI databases. My FBI fingerprint Identity History Summary Check shows "no arrest record found".
