You're driving into tiny Alma, Colo., and your radar detector goes off.
You reflexively stab the brakes and slow to the posted 30 mph.
Then you start scanning for a police vehicle.
Sure enough, there at the curb is a blue Chevy Blazer with a light bar. Through the heavily tinted window, you see the figure of a police officer inside.
More likely than not, it's Officer Woody, a mannequin dressed in police shirt and cap with stylish sunglasses masking his sightless eyes.
Officer Woody has been a member of the Alma Police Department for several years. His partners put him in a police vehicle and turn on his radar gun while they go off and attend to other police duties. They pull radar duty themselves often enough to make drivers on Colo. 9 unsure whether it's Woody or a real cop checking their speed.
I found Officer Woody parked on the south side of the highway near the west end of town this afternoon and he graciously posed for these photos.
