Traverse City Police Officer Krista Fryczynski is the department’s Community Officer, a position focused on outreach to unsheltered residents in the city.
“I've created such good relationships with these people,” she said. “Even if I do have to arrest them, I see them the next day or whatever and we talk about it and we're fine. …it's pretty interesting to be in this position and have that relationship — like, ‘Hey, I talk to you every day and the next day I have to arrest you if I have to.'”
IPR's Maxwell Howard spends a day with her.
