Los Altos Police Officers

Through both periods, 3rd and 4th I enjoyed listening to Ryan and Darren speak about there experiences of being a officer in the city of Los Altos. As well as hearing how they became officers and how they spent there career patrolling through the Bay area. I was interested about there perspective of the Ferguson case, by stating that it is different to how Missouri police departments train there officers and overall how other departments train. It also depends on the state about how much time a officer should be train to become acquaint for a job that purposely tries to keep people safe. By how the Ferguson case was addressed, now every officer in the state of California has a body camera attached to there uniform. Ryan was saying that when he first received it was stupid, but as time goes on, the camera became part of him and sometimes he forgets its there. Also Ryan says that the body camera actually helped him clean up his language and has cleaner conversation. Overall, I felt as though the discussions we had with officers were interesting, some points funny, and important to know how they react or approach different situations. Hopefully we can do this again.
