Thanks all!

Um... wondering if I should start a new thread for this, but I'll post it here still...

This is going to sound like a pretty stupid question, but I wouldn't know the answer to it. If a person wants to report a crime, do they need to fill out any special forms or anything? Do they need to speak to a specific officer or something? Is it the same procedure for all crimes or is it different for assault, homicide, etc? (See, I told you it was going to sound dumb)

And another. How old was Bill Henderson and did he deal with a pecific field (e.g. homicide cases, which I have a feeling was his field)?

Thanks again!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you want to report a crime, all you need to do is head down to the police station and they will help you getting the correct forms to fill out (as to what crime has been committed, if you want to press charges, etc..) and help you talk to the right people about it (the ones who take care of that certain crime: it's different with a murder case and a stolen car). At least that's what I was told to do when I recieved death threaths some years ago.

And I've also been down there to report stolen bags and purses, stolen vehicle or someone crawling under our car and tapping the fuel. You got forwarded to the right people, but I can't remember the names (status) of the officers. I'm sure someone knows more about this than me

As for Henderson, I would guess he was around forty yeas old (though he looks older). I think that's what Nan wrote in "Supercop", too. Somewhere around there, I think. Maybe in the end of his thirties when the show first started.

The actor who played Henderson (Richard Belzer) was 50 when the show started so you can use that age or go lower if you like.

Also, I think Henderson may have been working Robbery or Fraud just because he was there when Clark's appartment was robbed, when the jewlery store was robbed and was brought in on the Luthor investigation which seemed to be mainly insurance fraud.

However, the reason you may equate Henderson with homicide is that the actor was in the show "Homicide" and now stars in "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit".

Thanks, guys!

However.... there's always a but.

Pel, the story won't forward me to the right people. <g> I wish it did. It helps, but if you can go a bit more to depth it'll help a lot! If you can remember.

Birdie, actually I never watched neither of the shows, so I don't know where I got that idea.

Thanks for the help with the age thing.
