Summary:
Okay, forgot to put a tile and it erased everything I put down so here goes try number two.
We hear a lot about how the Police in Sunnydale are incompetent. But what if that was not the case? We know from Scholl Hard that the chief of police is in tight with the Mayor so what if the police are told to file false reports for public consumption and the real reports are handed into the Mayor's office? And I got to thinking about the best way to go about exploring that.
The Challenge: Write a story where instead of going to Collage Buffy enrolls into Sunnydale Police Academy during the summer after graduation and becomes a probationary rookie office assigned to be a liaison officer between the campus police and the military that has some kind of operation going on. This will get her involved into the goings on that actually happen on campus. You could introduce police procedures that the PD employ to deal with the supernatural bit of the job. Maybe they have shamans on payroll or something to preform any mystical work that needs done to close a case. It would actually make a hell of a season 6 story line with her trying to pass a psyche evaluation to get her gun and badge back after being dead. It might make things interesting with the Bot as well. Imigine a Bot with police training and a pistol.
Anyway if you can pull this story off then it would be great world building for a police drama with supernatural elements for your own novels. I'm just saying.
GOOD LUCK AUTHORS!
p.s. The names are mostly random and to put it one a search result. Feel free to ignore them when actually writing the story.
