I'm John LeVoy, I'm a sergeant with the Durham New Hampshire Police Department and I've been employed with the Durham Police for the last seven years. So, a sergeant is a first-line supervisor for the Durham Police. There are 20 officers in the Durham Police Department of Patrol Supervisors who each supervise their own shift of patrol officers. So, we have the normal responsibilities of any patrol officer to go out and patrol and do motor vehicle enforcement, make arrests, conduct investigations, respond to calls for service. We also have the added responsibility of managing the officers taking command and control of the situations that occur on our shifts. Specifically for me, I run the busiest shifts that the Durham Police have, which is Thursday through Sunday and I work the evening and midnight shifts, which historically with the University of Population that we have combined that with the town population and residents that we have makes for our busiest times our most calls for service, the most priority calls occurred in that time. It's the greatest job in the world and I say that quite frequently and I've heard a lot of other people say that too and it's easy to get an officer who's been on for a long time that's salty and says I'm ready for retirement and it's not. But I discredit that. I think it truly is the best job in the world. I literally come to work every day having no idea what I am going to do. I can have something set in my mind of a schedule and things tasked that I want to get done or need to get done and within five minutes of my shift could be sent to something that I'm tied up on for hours and I get nothing done that I had planned on doing for the whole day but it's totally exciting. It's high speed, it's very intense and it's that just not knowing what's next. It keeps you on your toes enough that you don't get bored with it and if nothing is happening it's a job that you can go out and get involved in things on your own. I have a freedom of not being tied to a desk. Even as a supervisor I have a lot of administrative roles where I have to sit at a desk for some of my shift but I'm able to get out and go on the road and drive around. The Seaco area of New Hampshire is a beautiful vibrant, extremely safe place and that's not by accident. It's because the community members wanted that way. They help keep that way and the police respond to things in that manner of helping their neighbors and community members to keep it safe. It doesn't mean that there are not heinous crimes that happen but what I think people get caught up on is reading or listening to this national narrative and it's not at the local level and when they have a contact with us they have a preconceived notion of how that's about to go or what they should expect and it really should be the opposite or it should be far better. They should have far better expectations of how they'll be treated or talk to or how to deal with us and I think a lot of times people forget that we're humans that we live down the street from you or drive on the same roads that you do go to the same supermarkets. We have families and even those you know who are younger and maybe haven't started a family yet still have ties to the community or have grown up in the area and people forget that and I think once we put this facade on of a uniform and a badge and a gun that they somehow forget that where that person that they bumped into two hours ago downtown and I'm not a different person because I'm wearing this. I have a job to do but I'm a human and I like talking to people and having a conversation about things. We don't fit the national narrative. We aren't those labels and tag words that people see all the time and just which sometimes people would give us a chance to prove that or that they would just look and see it. See past what you hear or read on your computer and go talk to the people that actually work in your community.
