Meeting the Metropolitan PD

I've signed up to do a "ride-along" with DC's Metropolitan Police Department. Later next week, I'll be spending the night riding around in a cop car as a journalistic exercise. I've chosen the Fifth District, which supposedly provides the "most action."

Today, I called the officer who had contacted me about rescheduling my ride-along for another date. His name was Officer Hardy. He told me he was on sick-leave and that I should contact Lt. Thomas. I called Lt. Thomas. He helped me reschedule.

Now, because I have such a budding inquisitive mind, I looked these guys' names up on Google.

Here is what I found.

If this story is any indication. It is bound to be a great night.
