Police Department in Winsted


Visiting the Police Department was very exciting for all students and me. We met a very nice and friendly policeman who showed us every room in the building like jail in which can fit about six people and its separated for men and women.The policeman told us about the hard work they have to do outside the department involving paperwork. At the end of the trip some people took a few pictures with the policeman and we all left the department hoping to visit again but just for the next tour:)

Officer Robert and me.



A very handsome policeman and me. He was a very nice man, he told us a lot of interesting stories, showed us all the places inside the building like the rooms where they gave you breathhalizer test and the jail cells. He told us how the work actually is, how important the paper work is and writing the reports which is 80% of his duties. I really enjoyed the trip:)

The Police Dept. and the Radar Gun


In the morning of May 3, we visited the Police Dept. We learned very much about the policeman's job-arresting criminals, drunk driving, handling car accidents. And they also handle problems with your noisy neighbor, or a barking dog, etc. They are really really busy.

This is the first time I saw a radar gun. The policeman uses the radar gun to measure the speed of cars. If you are over the speed limit, they will stop you and give you a ticket. Oh~, this radar gun makes my uncle contribute to the government very much. (hahaha...)

It was a very nice field study.

Police department in Winchester


We just got back from the police department. It was a really nice trip)))) A police officer Robert Varasconi who took us around was a sweet and patient man. He answered all our questions and told us everything we should know about average police department in a small town. What fascinated me the most is that they have to do a lot of paper work. There is 80 % of paper work and 20% only for searching for "bad guys" in the streets. But all the violators are treated nicely and with respect, because they are people first of all and they might just have a bad day and make a bad choice once. So everybody is given a chance there to be nice and try not to do bad things again.
Anyway, we all enjoyed this field trip and found out a lot about American police!
