As you all know I am a police officer and often times work part time security jobs.  I was recently working part time at our city’s symphony.  During an intermission I was walking in an alley that separates the symphony and a parking garage where many of the patrons park.  As I was walking I noticed a small door that leads out of the symphony, into the alley, and two ladies leaving early.  I greeted them and we all went on our way.

Just after I left the ladies I noticed a homeless man entering the alley and I began to think.  I wondered what if… What if I weren’t there with the two ladies and they were in a downtown alley alone with a homeless man?

I’m sure that they would have been fine, but what if…

What would you have done?
