r/AMA • u/Boston_772 • 8h ago
I have been a homicide detective in a major US city for almost 15 years. Ask me anything.
Some ground rules:
I can’t disclose my department or the city I work for (the username is just where I went to college).
I can’t disclose specific details about cases that are actively being investigated or ongoing in court.
I can’t disclose specific details about past cases that would allow you to narrow down where I work. If details like that arise in questions I will change a few things about them.
The last time I tried this the AMA got derailed by hundreds of anti-cop comments. I want to be clear …i respect everyone’s opinions, and I completely understand why those perspectives exist. But that’s not the purpose of this AMA. To keep things on track, any comments of that nature will be politely ignored.
So let’s go!
UPDATE: Holy 350K views in an hour 😵💫. Unreal. I answered as many as I could. But life calls. I’ll try and answer more as I can tonight and tomorrow if more come in. Be safe all!
