Bemidji police officer John Hunt works full time as liason officer at the Bemidji Middle School. Governor Tim Pawlenty's proposed cuts in state aid could force the city to eliminate Hunt's position and cut four police officers from the force. Some say Hunt's presense in the school reduces crime and breaks down barriers between kids and cops. (MPR Photo/Tom Robertson)
