This week I continued to go through all of the success stories and make edits. I also went to interview a Chief of Police at the Denver Police Department. I walked through the doors and couldn’t help but feel like a real journalist. I was going in there alone with slicked-back hair, box-framed glasses and a pad and pen in hand, to conduct an interview with a Chief of Police. When asked by the guard at the front what I was there for I couldn’t help but crack a little smile inside when I replied that I’m working on an article and have an appointment to interview the Chief.
I was intimidated at first by the office, chock full of framed awards and degrees. This quickly subsided after being introduced to the polite Chief Keesee. The way she spoke and carried herself expressed a rare kind of assertive intelligence. It was hard for my cramped-up hand to keep up with her million dollar answers to my questions, but I got through it alright. I hope I can articulate this interview in a way that will do the DPD and Chief Keesee some justice (pun intended).
