Ride-Around: The Buffalo Police at Work

"There is no better job in the world," says Detective Kevin Biggs.  This is coming from a man who is on a regular basis verbally and physically assaulted, yelled at, lied to, threatened and the list goes on and on.   But he really means it.  He loves his job.  When I asked him if it is a calling, he said, "No, it's just a job."

By way of background, I first met Detective Biggs, fondly known as Biggsie, when my garage and vehicles were broken into.  The thieves got a bag of Canadian change, $5 US dollars and my old, ratty bicycle with 2 flatter than flat tires.="mso-spacerun:
