Have you ever felt afraid for your safety during a call? What happened?

Have you ever hosted a ride-along, like having a civilian in your car seeing what you do during your shift? If you havent, would you want to or would you prefer not to? I ask because a family member is a civilian police employee and got to do a ride-along recently, and I wondered how officers feel doing that, like if they worry for their guests safety. Her ride was boring. They were at a domestic call for a few hours and she had to stay in the car (not that she wanted to be out in the middle of the feuding couple).

I know you probably see many of the same people / criminals over and over again. Do some of them ever contact you to report a fellow criminal or help you in any way? Are you kind of on friendly terms with anyone you arrest frequently?

Have you had to testify in court? How do you feel about having to do that?
