On the police beat, whom else should you get to know?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Getting to know victims and their families can give insight into crime trends and the impact of crime on the community. Building relationships with defense lawyers can provide a better understanding of the criminal justice system and help reporters provide balanced coverage. It is not appropriate to try to get to know police officers' families as this is a personal matter and can compromise objectivity in reporting.
