You should go on a ride-along with your son (if he's working patrol and not the courts, jails, or something else). You will see things from a completely different perspective.
On a technical note, you were never "detained" if you were a passenger on a train. The train was detained--you were free to leave. Same thing when you were a witness to something---you were not detained. If you wanted to leave, you could have left.
