Sparta Police Internship Week 6 (6/11-6/15)

This week started with us sitting in court to learn about court proceedings. Patrol Sergeant Beebe was the officer who was on guard while court was in session. Since this was traffic court the majority of the charges and fines wee speeding and drive recklessly. The judge spent a lot of time lecturing to the drivers with provisional licenses about the dangers of speeding and reckless driving. The rest of the week was spent with patrol and for the most part the week was pretty quiet. Outside of one animal complaint in which a squirrel broke into a woman's home, there was really nothing going on in Sparta this week. I rode with Patrol Officer John Fraser on Wednesday and Patrol Corporal Adam Smetana on Friday. Week 7 will be my final week interning with the Sparta Police Department and I still have to work a night shift with patrol and go to the dept. firing range.
