Contact your local police department and do it in person. You're supposed to "interview" someone, not have them fill out a questionaire via email.

Don't be offended. You're not the first person to ask for homework help and you won't be the last.

Sometimes I ask myself that very same question.

The hours.

Well since there is no shortage of stupidity, there is no shortage of work.

What screening process did you go through?

A very thorough one.

How competitive was it to gain entry into this agency?

Very.

You're welcome.

Now I would suggest following the advice Super Six 5 gave you.

I actually went to my local police department and the woman at the front desk told me police officers aren't allowed to do interviews or give out any information to me.

Oh well.

Have you tried jumping in your car and blowing the doors off the first squad car you see?:D:D:D




If that doesn't work, try your county's Sheriff's Dept. or your nearest State Police/Highway Patrol post.

It is quite possible that the agency has a policy restricting employees from giving interviews. Ask to speak with their PIO (Public Information Officer), who would be able to assist you and guide you in the right direction.

If you don't have any luck with that, try a neighboring jurisdiction...they may allow interviews.

Good luck with your assignment.
