This week we prepared the survey to be sent out for students/faculty to take. Figuring out the direction we wanted to take with the survey helped out with my ideas for the direction I wanted to take in my own article.
Other than making the survey, this week was more of a waiting game for me. I have been waiting to see if those I requested an interview with would respond to my emails. On Friday (2/21) the Purdue Police Dept. responded to my email stating that the Purdue Police Chief, John Cox, is willing to speak to me about my interview. He is a very busy man with a tight schedule, so we are meeting in person for a half an hour on Monday (2/24) in the morning. I have been preparing the questions that I wrote in my blog last week and determining which are the most important questions I want to ask him in this short time that I get to meet with him. The main question that I want to ask is, “If/when marijuana becomes legal in Indiana, how will this affect the work of police?” and ” Will the legalization cause more issues, according to his opinion, or will it allow them to focus on other (more serious) crimes?”
I have mainly been preparing my interview and making sure I have everything I need to meet with him.
