Criminal Justice, Friday, Period 1
Welcome to the Danger Shop as programmed by Batman, kids! Today the shop looked like a dark, imposing, but strikingly beautiful cityscape. It was nighttime in the programmed city, and Batman spent a fair amount of time making sure to program the wind to get just the right degree of foreboding. Did I mention that you were in an alley? Because you were.
If you had ever been to Gotham City, this would look very familiar.
"One of the most basic things a uniformed police officer will do is patrol a certain designated section of the city. They might do it in patrol cars or on foot, depending on their assignment, department cut-backs, or how much they've aggravated their higher ups recently," Batman explained. "This patrol is called 'the beat.' When an officer is on the beat, they will be watching out for any crimes or issues that need police attention. If they notice something, they'll call it in, then investigate. Being mobile also means that if somebody calls 911, police dispatch will call the beat cops to deploy them to a problem as first responders."
"Your role today is strictly observational," Batman said, starting to walk out of the alley and waving for the students to follow him. "We're going to go on a ride along in a police car in what I want to stress is a simulation. At no point will you be in any danger. The people you see will not be in danger, either, since they will not be real."
Batman led the students to a police car, opened the door to the back seat, and ordered, "Get in." Although it looked like a regular police car on the outside, there was limo seating once they were inside. Plenty of room for everyone.
