For any Manchester citizen who has recently been out and about in the middle of the night and spotted a police cruiser patrolling the streets, it is likely that either Officer Nicole Priest or Officer Shain Smith of the Manchester Police Department was behind the wheel. The pair are part of the same squad that has been pulling the night shift lately, and neither of them say they can complain. “It’s just a different environment working at night, different people, dealing with a different clientele,” Smith said. “I like nights, but my body likes days better. It’s hard to sleep all day when there’s always someone cutting their grass.” Priest said that when your job involves a lot of driving, it is nice to work at night when there is no …

Craig Smith has been working with Manchester Police Department since he was in high school. He shares what's behind his passion for law enforcement with "Patch."
Manchester Police Detective Craig Smith was heavily influenced by his family to go into law enforcement, though not always in the most positive of ways. Smith says his dad was an alcoholic and his brother a drug addict who was frequently arrested and in jail. “I thought ‘I hate this. I can’t stand this,’” Smith said. “And I wanted to be able to do something, at least my part, to try and help the next guy or the next kid, so they don’t have to live like this.” At the same time, Smith also had a brother-in-law who worked for the Manchester Police Department. Through his brother-in-law, Smith found out how he could in fact do his part and help out that “next kid.” Smith became involved with the St. Louis Police Explorers, an offshoot of the …
