In most jurisdictions, no. The decision of whether or not to provide first aid, as well as act on most other situations, is discretionary on the part of the officer. However, most police agencies place the preservation of life and rendering of aid very high in priority. An officer who had the opportunity to render first aid in the absence of someone more qualified, but did not do so, would probably be disciplined.
Depends - some may be trained to however it is not required when entering the police force. Usually when there is an accident, medics respond as well as police officers.
Police officers drive in cars because they need to catch people who are speeding and to get to an emergency quickly.
Not all Police Officers are issued badge numbers. However, most municipalities require Police Officers to provide specific identifying information to you about who they are in the event you need to file a formal complaint.
Lights are a more effective warning than a siren. Lights are silent and a siren can provide warning to suspects when the police would like to catch them.
A police report is a document outlining an incident. Citizens are never required to make one.
No. The badges they have are an advertising gimmick. They are required by law to report Kiddie Porn to the police so some will argue that the Geek Squad are police officers.
No. Certainly not.
most police officers are required to carry a firearm at all times in the area of arrest power.
All police officers are "public safety officers," as public safety generally includes law enforcement, the fire service, and emergency medical services. Some cities and counties have "public safety departments," where officers are cross-trained both as law enforcement officers and as firefighters. Officers perform police duties when not actually engaged in fire service duties.
As a Police officer you are required to uphold the laws of the country you are Policing, respond to emergency calls, assist the other emergency services with incidents and protect and serve the public.
Doctors, police officers, soldiers and firemen. Thank you. T. Nelson
Police officers are required to graduate from a police academy. Still, there are a number of community colleges that are affiliated with police academies and have joint programs.
