The meeting was called to order, the pledge of allegiance was conducted, and Chairman Dolin opened the meeting. As expected the beginning of the meeting was formal, roll call was completed and the council proceeded with…

I went on a job shadow with Sergeant Chuck Robinson of th Kossuth County Sheriffs Office. Chuck is the nighttime supervisor, which means he only works nights and is there to mostly help the other cops, if need be. The entire job shadow was a last minute ordeal as my original job shadow fell through because there was business and personal issues at Elbert Chevrolet that kept me from shadowing there and watching. But continued to make this shadow a valuable experience. As I stated above I did my…

I learned a lot about police during my ride along. I learned a few things about a police officer daily duties and the benefits about the job. I also realize that being a police officer is not exciting or required a lot of paper works like I thought. There is way more aspect to be a police officer than car chase or firing a gun as television portray it. A television episode about policing is not an accurate portrayal of an officer everyday work. On Sunday, April 16, 2017, I completed the…
