Exit Interview
(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is your best answer and why?
My essential question is "How has the history of Law Enforcement most shaped the current policies?". My best answer is "The history of law enforcement has most shaped the current policies on women in law enforcement." because it's a very close subject to my heart and it was the most interesting to research.

Blog 17 - Interview 3 Reflection
1. What is the most important
thing I learned from the interview?
I learned that policy changes are actually a constant thing being updated in Law Enforcement and are not just mentioned and gone over in training.
2. How has your approach to interviewing changed over the course of your senior project?
Not much has changed about my interviewing approach, my whole comfort level with senior project has changed. The only thing that might have changed with my interviewing is probably the fact that I planned it out a bit more. (Sidenote, the individual I had originally planned to interview was unavailable and will probably be interviewed at a later date.)
