There has been a urban legend rumor going around the nets for years now that police agencies do not hire people with a high IQ to be a police officer. I've always wondered if there was any truth to those rumors.

We all know that police officers provide a service to the populations, but this is more notorious in some countries. I am in Portugal and here they are quite different from Germany for example, where they are way more helpful and embrace the "service" part with another energy. How is this in the...

Hey there everyone, really cool that a Police Station forum exists and I am glad to be on it. I think that the police if often misunderstood because citizens sometimes don't know how the law works, so nothing like having a common community and asking the police why things are the way they are...

I was wondering when the police confiscate money at a crime scene, what happens to it? Where does it go?

A couple of weeks ago I was at a party and the police stopped by. I don't drink or do drugs but there was some at the party. The police took down names and then let us leave with an adult. Yesterday I was pulled over for speeding and when the officer came back from his patrol car he asked about...

Three weeks ago I sold my friend a laptop and he promised he would pay a week later. He said he was waiting to get paid from his job so I said it's ok. It's been over a month now and he still hasn't paid me. He has been avoiding my calls and I even went to his house a couple of times but he...
