Ride alongs almost over :(

Foster City Police Department and all Police Departments are constitutionally mandated. They are called peace officers in the California constitution. This question makes me laugh because I asked a police officer there, if they were constitutionally mandated and he wasn't sure. I think he may have been thinking about the federal constitution while I was thinking of the state constitution. I then asked Mo and he was like duh! We are constitutionally mandated and proceded to crack up. The California Constitution pretty much lists what they can and cannot do. They are sworn into oath before taking their jobs. FCPD is not trying to make any changes to the constitution. I was once again reminded that it is required for all police departments to remain impartial with anything relating to law and politics. Their job is to enforce the letter of the law. Man, I think that word "impartial" has been said every time I ask a question. This word is starting to get on my nerves because I want them to just tell me what they think as people, but then I am reminded, once they are on the clock they don't really have an opinion because they cannot have one. I am saddened that my ride alongs are almost over. I only have a couple weeks left of doing them and they have been so much fun. I would never ever consider a field in law enforcement, but I think that what these officers do is just awesome. I hope that everyone can go on ride alongs if they the opportunity because it can really change your opinion in a good way of what a police officer does.
