To Protect and Observe...


I have been accepted as part of the 67th Session of the Austin Police Department's Citizen Police Academy starting at the end of the month. We'll meet every Tuesday from 5:30-9:30p for 10 weeks and learn about all the departments of the APD. Homicide, Cold Cases, Robbery, Sex Crimes, Forensics, Bomb Squad, SWAT, etc. and get to ride along with an officer for a 10 shift! Hopefully something exciting will happen during my ride along, you know like a shoot out at a bank robbery or the chance to rough up some hippies caught smoking grass. It's free and most Police Departments around the country have some sort of program allowing us tax payers to see what's really going on down there. More postings to come regarding this new adventure...

Maybe you'll go on a stake-out at the Krispy Kreme to see when the hot donuts come out...

i'm pretty sure that the hot doughnuts message is sent over the scanner system to alert all cops.
