Try the police department again. This should be done in person.

I doubt anyone on this board would give you their name or the department at which they work.

Also, no offense intended, but we get tons of these requests. You are only asking once, but we get asked all of the time.

We are pretty much just worn out with it, but somone might be willing to write up all of those answers.

i was told a good Police Officer would be WILLING to answer my questions and help me out.;)

[joshuaslover]

i completely understand.

[joshuaslover]

i was told it didnt have to be done in person, it could be, but it could also be done by sending someone the questions threw the mail, or by doing it by internet.

And if someone isnt willing to answer some of these questions on here they can always PM me instead

[Whitebear]

can we put joshua's answer as a post it, so we will not have to answer this anymore....

[cobravenom1]

i was told a good Police Officer would be WILLING to answer my questions and help me out.;)

An offensive cop-out.:rolleyes:

A good person who needs all these questions answered would go do the interview in person instead of sitting back waiting for these questions to be answered.

I've sat and answered similiar questions with explorers and college students who I gave the time because they took the time.;)

Yep, me too.

I am not wasting my time so someone can cut and paste their way out of actually conducting self initiated research.

Guess that makes me a bad cop? So be it.

[joshuaslover]

i went down there again and this time there was someone there at the station to do an interview with.thanks to those that took the time to answer and respond to my questions.
