Protests against police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, and other parts of the country have inspired a unique project at Penn State Berks.


Students taking the "Writing in the Social Sciences" course are compiling a book featuring biographies of members of the Reading Police Department.


Students started interviewing officers Monday.


"Above all, I want the students to be able to humanize these officers and to capture their lives. What's their background? What's their story? And why it's meaningful for us to not look at police officers in narrow ways," said Justin De Senso, lecturer of English composition.


When the book is finished, it will be placed at the Berks History Center in Reading.
