We are looking for retired officers to be part of a new oral history video podcast series we are producing for the museum.
The format is very simple. We will pair two officers together and pose the following questions to them for an interesting and vibrant discussion:
- What motivated you to become a police officer?
- Who was the most influential person in your career in the Minneapolis Police Department? What lessons did that person teach you?
- What kinds of friendships and camaraderie did you form on the job and with whom? Whom did you trust and depend on and why?
- What was your favorite part of the job and why?
- Of all of your contributions to the Minneapolis Police Department, which make you most proud and why?
- What would you want to share with future generations about your experiences, and your feelings about your profession?
We are hopeful that you will participate and invite you to email us at info@mplspolicemuseum.org to learn more.
Production on this series begins next Wednesday, June 24, so please do not delay.
Thank you!
