Hey listeners, the original version of this episode contains some swear words, but they have been bleeped for our feed.

If you want to hear the original version, Swears and all, check out the document podcast feed from NHPR.

This is Civics 101. I'm Hannah McCarthy.

Today we have something for you from our colleagues on NHPR's document team.

That's the team that has made podcasts like Bear Brook, the 13th Step, and the Youth Development

Center.

A few months ago, reporter Lauren Chulgin stumbled onto a really special and timely story.

It's about how one of the most significant events in our democracy's history, the January 6th

Riot at the Capitol, has shaped the life of someone who was there, a former capital police officer named Amelia Campbell.

This story might be a little different than the ones we usually drop in our feed, but we think you'll find it as fascinating and moving as we do.

So here it is.

From the document team at New Hampshire Public Radio, Emilia's thing.

These are my moo-cal friends. I say hi to him every day. I know it will look cute and there's like two horses

over here. I'm sitting in the front seat of Officer Amelia Campbell's police

cruiser. We're on a tour of her typical patrol route in Northumberland, New Hampshire.

She showed me her preferred speed trap spots, the scene of a hit and run from last week,

but this, a farm, this is the hot spot.

Suddenly two horses jump up on their hind legs and start kind of swatting at each other.

Oh, hoe, break it up guys.

Don't make me come over there.

Life as a cop in a rural town can be slow.

Amelia's got a good sense of humor about it.
