Internship with the Police Department Throughout my one hundred and twenty-hour experience with the Gloversville Police Department, I learned many skills, values and the ways of this Police Department. Many of the calls and situations I went to often could relate to a certain theory that I learned in any of my law classes.

years, the American department store has developed and evolved as not only a commercial business but also a cultural institution. While it has weathered many storms and changes since its inception and throughout history, its most predominant enemy has been a change in the lifestyle of the American people (Whitaker, 2013).

But since the department store was first erected, it begs the burning question: why would the women of Paris feel safe in the department stores? Why would the lower middle-class
the misfortune of spending a day. Somewhere we all spend countless hours standing in lines. A government department plagued with incompetent employees; employees that can turn something as simple as renewing a driver’s license into an all day affair. I am of course, referring to the Department of Motor Vehicles or hell on earth as I often call it. Part of the issue with the DMV, or the Department of Motor Vehicles as it has been hitherto called, is the people - from the customers to the employees.
