Introduction

Barnstable Police(figure 1)

We have all heard it before. The police treat everyone the same. They are out to get everyone and are the worst people you can imagine. No one wants to deal with police or even be seen around them. People are making all of their assumptions based off of what they hear other people talking about and what they see on TV. Over the past two weeks I have joined the University of Kentucky police force to get a better understanding of what they do on a daily basis and to see the true humans behind the badge and not what everyone thinks about police in general. I went on a ride along with an officer and interviewed him. I also sat in on a roll call (figure 1) the police had before their shift.
