Inside SDPD

Inside SDPD is a dynamic , behind-the-scenes experience that allows community members to walk in the shoes of a police officer . Led by real San Diego police officers , guests had the unique opportunity to participate in deescalation , vehicle stop , and training activities . They also saw the K9 Unit in action and experience firsthand what it is like to be a cop . The respect gained for the challenges of the officers was an amazing result of these personal interactions with our Women and Men in Blue !
