Another random question

Do police departments have an internal legal department that employs lawyers? I ask for a very important reason. They have to get search warrants and such so I'd assume they do, but I haven't yet been able to find this out on my own through my own research on the internet.

Best way to get the truth is phone your local police station huh

There was a cop at the car dealership this morning and I wanted to ask him but I didn't dare. Cops scare me.

Aw, they're not scary! At least MOST of them aren't scary. LOL You don't know anyone that knows a policeman to ask? I wish I knew the answer for you. Sorry.

They should not scair anyone paints as they put their lives down everyday for you and I . I respect two of the most respected jobs in the world ,fireman and policeman. They both keep us safe from bad people.

I guess it's not so much scare as intimidate. All those gadgets and gizmos that can subdue, disable, or kill a human being and the stern "Don't disturb me" aura.

My stepson is in the Police Academy now. He's so excited! Yea, he came over and showed me all of his gadgets....looks like a jumbo GI JOE!!! Police can be intimidating...but I can still cut my eyes at him and not say a word....all 6'2" of him reverts to being 5 again!!!!! LOL!!!!

I'm sure that all departments employ attorneys OR work through the DA's office. Just random call the DA's office in your city and ask them your questions.....just a thought!

The police go through the local courts for search warrants, etc. That is what the district attorney is for

So if a fictional character in a story worked for the district attorney's office she'd have direct access to judges and such, right? But would she have a working relationship with local leos?

I would think so- that's how is is in the movies

She would have a working relationship with LEO's if she was an ADA. I don't think a paralegal or secretary would. Personal relationships are another thing altogether.

I admire the police they have a hard job and handle people at their worst. Some of the things they see or have to do must be pretty hard. Same for Firemen/women.

Paints they go through the DA's office for all warrants.

Don't be scared of the police, Paints. They're ok!

Just walk right up and talk to them. You might be surprised to find some of them are pretty cute
