This week was a fun week for me as I finally had the chance to begin my interviewing process. On Monday, February 24th, I was able to meet with Purdue Police Chief John Cox and Captain Song Kang from the Purdue Police Dept. I met them at the police department for a short interview and I did learn a lot for the content of my article. They gave some of their professional opinions stating that they believe marijuana is one of the strongest gateway drugs, and that it is the definite majority of all drug cases on campus. All citations that Purdue police give are sent to the Dean of Students at Purdue as well. I think these all make interesting points for my article.
Other than interviewing with those listed above, I have reached out to the officer who is in charge of the DARE program in West Lafayette, but I have received no responses yet. I have been trying to get a directory/list of West Lafayette police so that I have more options for people to interview with. As of now, John Cox and Song Kang are the only two who have responded to meeting with me.
This week was also an important week because we finished our survey in class. I have been sharing the link in the groups I am a part of on campus in order to get a high number of respondents.
