The 1978 Police Officer: I'm now old and dusty. I'm gonna retire and you should take my place.
The 2018 Police Officer: I just put on a new (painted) uniform and I'll surely arrest as many crooks as I can!

After working out in Elysian Park I spot the LAPD Film Unit guys!
Two LAPD patches - there is the patch for motorcycle officers. The winged wheel patch with the arrow belongs to the Accident Investigation Unit. I have yet to get a pic of that one.
I uploaded a similar image in 2015. The police officer just ran into shot whilst I was fiddling with my camera. The settings were all wrong and only had a fraction of a second to grab the shot but there was something about it that I rather liked.

We were having lunch in a well respected Vicksburg restaurant when a rather unruly customer took a seat near us. We quietly discussed whether he was intoxicated, a bit short of a full deck or simply deaf. The customer settled down and we went back to our lunch. Shortly afterwards, I noted that a police officer had arrived and was talking to several employees around the corner. I also took note that the previously unruly customer was between myself and the long arm of the law.
Not wanting to be on the wrong end of a misfired Taser or even worse, a 40S&W, I decided to meet Johnny Law. That's when I introduced myself to Officer Joseph Stubbs.
Officer Stubbs explained the patron was well known to him, and simply hard of hearing and a little "touched." That's a Southern euphemism for blessed in a way that others are not. At any rate, Officer Stubbs was there simply to visit the girlfriend of his best friend, our waitress.
I learned that Joseph had grown up in Vicksburg and knew the area and it's history well. He patrolled the historic district and provides both the duties of a peace officer and a tour guide. He told us of several unusual hauntings, and out of the beaten path excursions to try some time. He also gave me unfailing directions to Margaret's Grocery.
I asked him to be a part of 100 Strangers, knowing that our meeting would make a good story. I photographed him inside the restaurant, next to where the noon sun filtered through the antique windows. I almost did not write down his name, knowing that it was on his name badge. Thankfully, however, I did make a note of it, because the sun obliterated it in the photograph.
Officer Joseph Stubbs is the 175th stranger in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.
San Francisco PD has come along way since Karl Malden and Michael Douglas patrolled the streets. Apologies to anyone under 40 for that reference.
In the modern world of traffic queues it's probably easier to get around this way although some of the hills in this city are brutal. That said this police officer looks in good shape for steep climbs.

This is a creative shot of a Mounted Policeman in front of Buckingham Palace in London. He surveils the crowd gathered and the traffic, too. Mounted Police is ideal for suppressing riots or mass demonstrations in protest.

Officers of the Law have received quite a lot of attention in our world these days. Thankfully, the men and women in law enforcement have pledged to uphold law and order. Be they a police officer, detective, dispatcher, K-9 trainer, motorcycle or highway patrol, conservation officer, or school resource officer, these men and women help people make good decisions that benefit others and themselves by understanding and obeying the laws of the land. Thank an officer next time you see one. Pray for their safety.

Quick shot from the hip, someone "assisting" the police with their enquiries, as they say, looked like a car pulled over for a word, very quick and dirty snap as I was walking by
Police command center near the Plaza de la Catedral. Please step out of the car Sir. Would you mind opening your trunk? That's not really what happened. I've just seen too many police shows. The first building at this site, a cannon foundry, was constructed in 1588. This foundry was in use until 1624 and used copper from a mine near Santiago de Cuba called 'El Cobre'. This arsenal was demolished in 1938 and replaced by the present structure. At present the building serves as the headquarters of the National Revolutionary Police Force of Havana. It can not be visited without breaking the law or working there. Havana, Cuba, March 2019

As a young boy, I remember visiting someone's house. It was 1967. They had a black and white television on in the corner of a room. A news report was showing footage of Blue Bird, a jet powered hydroplane, crashing on Coniston Water. It's pilot, Donald Campbell, who had previously broken records for both land and water speed was killed. Years later large parts of Blue Bird, along with Campbell's body were recovered from the lake. Blue Bird was eventually restored and has even been back on the water. Here it is at the Lord Mayor's Show / Parade in London as it passes into Cannon Street.
I also grew up in a World where British Police Officers were not routinely armed. This is still mostly the case but, whereas I did not see an armed Police Officer until I was middle aged, it is no longer such a rare site.
