A few weekends ago, Lynn and I made our annual trek to Pahrump, Nevada, to help man Stage 12 for the Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay. Baker to Vegas is a Relay race involving law enforcement officers and personnel, including judges, probation officers, district attorneys, US Attorneys and full-time civilian police personnel. According to its creators, it’s the most “positive” event offered to law enforcement officers today, because it gives them a reason to maintain a physical fitness program so they can better perform their duties. I grew up in Chicago, town of Al Capone and the fat cop. Their police officer's MO is to shoot you in the hip, rather than chase you down. So it's refreshing to watch the physically fit law officers do their thing--if the participants can complete this relay, then they can chase down a perp, easy!
