.. without causing trouble, that is.
I live in unincorporated county territory, and the county PD is about 15 miles away in the same building as the county prison (makes me a bit nervous to be in a place like that). I want to get to know the uniforms, badges, equipment, insignia, and names of the county police, so that I can develop a healthy relationship with them and so that I can be more confident about detecting imposters, but my conversations on the phone seem to indicate the preference of utilizing a PR/ombudsman cop by appointment. I'm worried that the PR cop won't give me the complete, or straight story (for the sake of the department's image), and that this disadvantage will work against my best security interests in stressful moments of action. I don't want to feel good about my police (they aren't omnipotent, omnipresent, etc.), I just want to know who they are and how to quickly verify their authenticity and know their basic, standard procedures. What should I do?
