After hearing some one-sided opinions from his students about recent problems in the Rutland Police Department, Community College of Vermont instructor Guy Paradee (who teaches an American Judicial Process class) challenged his students to walk a mile in the shoes of those responsible for running and overseeing the police, the Rutland, VT, Herald reports.
This challenge was the result of an early semester news story that said state police were investigating a city police sergeant for illegally downloading suspected child pornography - a suspicion that proved unfounded.
All of the students reportedly had negative reactions, but Paradee (a former Rutland detective lieutenant who comes from a family tradition in law enforcement) believed the students' assumptions seemed ill informed. This led to his coming up with an assignment that would guide the course of instruction for the rest of the semester.
