Police Lt. George Hutton, former downtown-West Side team commander and head of the vice unit, and her son Mark Nelson is a police officer on the East Side of St. Paul. Between them, John and Shannon Harrington have seven children, age 13 to 24, and live in Oakdale. Harrington has worked in St. Paul's juvenile unit, the public high schools and police communications center and as a patrol supervisor. He also trains police officers and future officers in classes he teaches at Metropolitan State University. He feels happiest with one foot in the academic world and one foot on the street.
