Harrisburg Deputy Police Chief Deric Moody pretty much always knew he wanted to work in law enforcement, just like his dad.
There’s a photo of him when he was six years old, posing with his father’s Philadelphia police hat, leather jacket and gun belt.
He remembered this photo Friday while discussing his retirement from the Harrisburg Bureau of Police, after 28 years of service. The interview was recorded during the City of Harrisburg’s Facebook Live with Mayor Eric Papenfuse.

But they’re not going to let their guard down.
“We will maintain our sense of vigilance here. The day is not over yet,” Harrisburg police Deputy Chief Deric Moody said. “So far, we like what we see.”
It was believed an armed group of demonstrators would show up around noon, but for much of the afternoon, the Capitol steps and streets around it were filled only with reporters, photographers and camera operators.
A large contingent of law enforcement from the Harrisburg Bureau of Police, Capitol Police, Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania National Guard have spent the day guarding the Capitol Complex and closing the streets around it, and will likely continue to do so for the next few days.
