There are a lot of challenging and stressful jobs out there. But few people have to worry about being seriously injured or even killed while on duty. Law enforcement work is different. It entails some of the most difficult, intense and rewarding work a person can do. "A Day in the Life" provides the exciting opportunity to follow three very different officers and see how they go out every day to uphold the peace in their communities.

Ride along with the officers and get an inside look at their lives — on duty and off. Experience the challenges each of them faces and hear their thoughts and feelings about what it means to be a law enforcement officer in their particular community.

Via short video presentations, meet members of the:

Minnesota State Patrol
San Francisco Police Department, Foot Patrol
National Park Service Law Enforcement, Natchez Trace Parkway

Stress, temptations and frustration are all parts of the job and it can be hard to ignore the difficult aspects of this work. Listen to officers, counselors and chaplains discuss how the fine line between right and wrong can be so easily blurred. Learn about the means of support for law enforcement officers and gain a better appreciation of the challenges that come with the career.
