We think the video arraignment is a great project. It's one of the best ideas the county has come up with. You don't have to transport the prisoners.

You have to have a police officer to accept a prisoner. The (Waterford Township) police department has been great in working with us. Safety is always a concern. That is always something the court is looking at.

It's the most volatile time. It's when somebody is first charged. The emotions are high.

We work well together, collaborate a little bit, bounce ideas off each other and basically take the same approach to teaching.

The ideas (community members) shared were fantastic. We're hopeful that that energy and interest level remain high.

People can have so many ill-conceived ideas about me based on the parts that I play. I've had guys, when I've been single, come out of the woodwork to date me and I've found out very quickly that they were expecting some kind of whirlwind, some dramatic crazy person - and that's just not me.
