Scott Hudson fulfilled a childhood dream on Sept. 10 when he began his first day as an officer with the City of Bowie Police Department.
While a younger version of himself was wrapped up in the glory of being a cop, thinking it was “cool,” the older, more mature Hudson is grounded in reality and knows the difference he can make in his new occupation.
“I have wanted to be a cop since I was a little kid, but I have no idea why, I guess I thought it was cool,” recalled Hudson. “Now, I have seen what drugs have done to my family and to other people and I want to do something about it.”
Hudson fills ones of three vacancies at the Bowie Police Department with two remaining open.
“He brings us back up to only being two people down, which is a plus,” said Bowie Police Chief Guy Green.
