Photographer Antonio Bolfo was busy working as an animator on Playstation games when he realized he was bored and wanted to make a difference - so he quit and became a cop. Kind of a nutty story in and of itself but the best part is that while on the beat he brought along his camera and documented his experiences. This NYTimes Gallery has a good sampling of his work (lots more on his official site). It's great to get a Behind The Scenes look at a job that's, for most of us, is pretty difficult to imagine having.
