![Hosting the SCLA Casptone Mentor Dinner outside allowed for more attendees on September 27, 2021 at Silver Creek. This event would’ve usually been held inside. According to Lauren Kohn, a SCLA 12 teacher, “If we have a higher number of people, as long as we can host the event outside, then that seems to be keeping every[one] safe”.](https://schsnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/sxMAIGbSYGodZkqmrvTi5YWcJ1ssWA08ApkeMLpp-900x675.jpeg)
What have been your favorite and least favorite stories from being on the job?
February 9, 2021
Officer Douglas:
- Favorite: My favorite thing on this job has been when someone finds me well after I had contact with them and tells me how much my interaction with them changed their life. It is totally satisfying to know that I made a difference. I even had one woman who I arrested three separate times tell me that I saved her life with those arrests. She said she would not have turned her life around without me interrupting it at the time.
- Least Favorite: We walk in on people’s worst day. We deal with a lot of death. Most of the death makes sense when people are very elderly or very sick but I have had to listen to a mom wail while holding her deceased 4-month old perfect looking baby. I have had to do CPR on a 7-year-old that did not make it while her dad watched. Law Enforcement sees what no human should have to see and that makes for some pretty dark days.
