- Consider joining up with the NYPD, SHIELD, or a similar agency. From what I can tell, they're being pretty chill with refugees, especially those of us with law enforcement backgrounds.
- If that's too much time, consider the NYPD's auxillary police. There are lots of openings, from patrolling, to helping in precincts and labs, and you can do as little as an hour a week. They provide training, plus you can get a nifty keychain for your keys.
- If you want to do your own thing, New York has private investigator and bounty hunting licenses. They're not averse to people being out there, they just want to know who is.
- If you're trailing someone and discover something, take photographs, record things, call the NYPD's anonymous tipline for Terrorism [Number] or Crimestoppers [Number]. Call 911 to get someone on scene and wait until they get there. Just don't bust it up yourself.
- If it's a small crime and can stop it safely, by all means stop muggings, property crime, things of that nature--as a good Samaritan. But if you're somewhere you're not supposed to be, or it's a big fish, odds are the NYPD, FBI, or SHIELD are already aware of it, may have undercover agents on the case, and barging in and making citizens arrests or beating up the bad guys can compromise those agents, lead to judges throwing out evidence or arrests, and ultimately the perps walking and untouchable.
- On that note, consider strongly not to performing citizen's arrests.
Any Questions?
Did you meet the mini-Aquaman who arrived yesterday? :)
