On the second day of me meeting with my mentor i met some of the other detectives that work robbery homicide. Captain Holeman Actually came in and sat and me him and detective sauters went over the police law book so i could get some meanings of some of the crimes committed in georgia. I also looked at a couple photos that i cannot describe because they were very graphic and traumitizing it got to the point when detective sauters said i think you should work sex crimes because i don't think you could handle this but i told him its my dream to become a homicide detectove so thats what i'm going to do. We also did some case reviews of some cases at have been solved and closed and he showed me the ins and outs of how a investigation works during a murder case their are binders and binders of information that are gathered. Also when working as a detective you are required to attend the autopy's of your victims and during the autospy's some preety nasty stuff occurs but over all its worth it one od the sayings in homicide is their is no greater honor here on earth regardless of skin color creed or race then finding the killer of another human being and thats the duty of the homicide investigator. The definition of a investigation is to find out the truth. With me also working with detective sauters i will be able to do a ride along with him ont he westside of athens later on in the mentorship.
