Why Irvington

Ok, so my topic is the Town of Irvington. I chose Irvington mainly because of some experiences I had there early in my career as a detective involving car thefts. I have never been able to get past the question - what happened here, seriously what did we miss? The more I interacted with police there the worse impression I got but when I really started talking to suspects and witnesses the picture became much clearer in the portion of the brain that his un-cop and since then I always feel comfortable here. To be sure it is not a place I hang out regularly but it has always fascinated me. When I told some people that is what I chose to focus on for the semester, I got the obligatory head tilt and "whoa" my wife gets when she tells anyone her birthday is September 11th. I hope I find what I am looking for....
