Constable Carter Practices for Penestrian Honoree
Constable Carter divides his hours between the automobile industry and enforcing the law. He trains for a walking match while on duty and volunteered to escort a captive from police headquarters to collect a fine yesterday. Parades kept regular officers busy, leaving Carter to exert himself in a dusty, laborious trek with a captive.
