This week I went on a ride along with a police officer in District 13. If you want to experience the most bipolar day of your life, just go on a ten hour long shift with a police officer. One moment I was flying down Colfax the wrong way at high speeds—sirens blaring (now I know why that floppy little handle hanging from the roof is there). Cops were whipping out there guns all around and I stood awkwardly behind a dumpster. Then, in the blink of an eye, I was sitting in an office waiting for my policeman to finish his two-hour report while drooling over a book describing police procedures. It was quite an experience, though, and I’m excited to transcribe this rollercoaster of a day into words on the page.
After doing this I came back and brainstormed what happened on the ride along and began thinking about how I could turn that into an article. I set up a meeting with Chief Keesee to interview her about the Denver Police internship that she heads. What a day, what a day!
