State police ride-along yields little adventure but lots of information
The promise of adventure was there from the start: I had to sign a waiver. Lieutenant Matt Daley, head of the New Haven barracks of the Vermont State Police and fellow Charlotter, kindly offered to take me with him on directed patrol on a drizzly October day when the leaves were just starting to show their full fall potential. My mission was to find out what exactly a VSP patrol around town entails.
