Los Altos Police Department

Today, two police officers came into our class to talk about their job. I myself, am not a fan of cops. That's just my personal opinion on them. Coming into class I wasn't really looking forward into anything they had to say. As they started to talk, my attitude shifted and within five minutes I was kind of interested and intrigued. These two cops were actually pretty cool. They talked about their background and their overall thoughts about being a cop. Something funny and cool that one of them said was the story about him fighting a drug addict. The cop had history with this druggie; every time he'd visit him, he would run into his house and start teasing the officer. Finally, the drug addict came out one day and they both started fighting. But it was the way the officer explained the incident is what made it super funny and cool. By the end of the talk we had with the cops I thought of them almost as those cool teachers you always want to talk to and laugh with.
