Thanks Christine. Cops love putting on their 'game faces'. These shots missed the internet by about a decade, and they've been kicking around on my hard drive for a few years waiting to be retouched. I thought they were due to get some screentime. When I'm bothered to get the drivers for my scanner reinstalled I'll take some more occasional trips down memory lane.
