Officer Cooper ~KC & JB

Police Officers are very important to our community and they help the community too. Police Officers keep us safe and tell us to follow the laws and rules. Police Officers (depending on what type of police officer they are) sometimes risk their lives for us so we can be safe. There are over one million people who work as police officers. It is their job to make people obey the laws and fight for justice. We will be interviewing Kent Cooper because he is a police officer.

Kent Cooper is a police officer in the community. He said this about being a police officer, “It can be frustrating when people don’t work as a team, but it can also be fun when you are working with your friends.”  People may wonder why Cooper wanted to become a police officer.  He said, “If you want to be something it doesn’t matter on whether the job pays you more, or pays poorly. It’s all about doing stuff that you love.” He explained. Kent Cooper patrols the streets, he does paperwork for other workers’ payroll, and he goes to people’s houses if something’s wrong.  

Police officers are a big help to our community.  Without them, dangerous and unfair things could happen. If Kent Cooper could, he would save the world.  There are many ways that police officers help our community.  Kent Cooper shared the example, “Well let’s say that there was a bank robbery. If we had no police men, then we wouldn’t have anyone to punish them for breaking the law. Some people do illegal things, so we have police officers to keep us protected and fair.” Cooper said. 

Kent Cooper has seen a lot of millionaires, but we wondered what would Mr. Cooper do with one million dollars? “I would spend it on the car of my dreams, get a new house, and share some money with my family.” Kent Cooper told us. So this is why we think that police officers are worth millions!
