  Ingrid Dean, wears many hats.Ingrid is a Detective Sergeant, 18-year veteran, with the Michigan State Police, an artist, scubadiver, and pilot.....most recently, a published writer.She presently lives in both Traverse City and Munising, Michigan.As most of you do know, Ingrid is also our Music Director!
  
  Ingrid is an original disciple of a Tantra Master, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (aka "Osho") and lived in his ashram (a spiritual commune) for over 10 years.In fact, Ingrid's spiritual name is "Ma Deva Ingrid"---and she says it's very healing if you call her "Ma Deva" on occasion.The meditation Ingrid presented us today is an ancient Tantra technique called "Yoga Nidra" which exercises the power of symbols and intent.It is one of many meditation techniques she has learned in her past spiritual practices.
  
  Ingrid graduated from Wayne State University with a B.A. in Art, served in the Marine Corps for a short stint, eventually joining the Michigan State Police in 1989.I asked Ingrid why she ever joined the police force with such a seemingly different sort of background and she replied, "to integrate my spiritual sahdna and creativity into a profession in desparate need of more Light...." She said she just didn't know it at the time, though, and was looking for adventure.
  
  Ingrid just received her M.A. in Transpersonal Studies through the Edgar Cayce Foundation/Atlantic University, is a newly licensed instructor in Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga, and now an intern practitioner of MARI Assessements (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument), which Ingrid can explain further.She just published her first book called "Spirit of the Badge."

  Ingrid Dean, a 20-year veteran of the Michigan State Police, gathered some of those stories and wrote a book: Spirit of the Badge: 60 True Police Stories of Divine Guidance, Miracles, & Intuition. Released on October 1, the book is a collection of first-hand, written accounts by police officers from around the country. While some stories may be interpreted in the realm of the paranormal and the divine, all show a side of law enforcement we rarely get to see. Dean - who has served as a field detective for there years, was a polygraph examiner for 12 years and worked the road for six - is currently a detective sergeant and forensic artist for the Seventh District Michigan State Police Post in Traverse City. The Express recently sat down with Dean and asked her more about the book and the goings-on behind the badge.
  
  NE: You said the idea for the book came from studying for your Masters in transpersonal psychology. Can you talk more about that? Dean: I went back to school after 15 years with the Michigan State Police for something new and to stay excited about police work; and also for spiritual growth, so to speak. I came up with the idea as I thought more about the exceptional experiences that police officers have. They're seldom shared with the media. You always hear about the bad things or negative situations.
  
  NE: How did you go about collecting these stories? Dean: I collected them first from officers I knew and worked with through my polygraph office in Grayling, at the crime laboratory.
  ...
  Dean: I did, actually from the Michigan State Police in general, I'd say 25 percent of the stories were from my own agency. NE: I had to look up 'transpersonal psychology' online because I had no idea what it was. And it's not just religion. Does it go beyond that? Dean: Absolutely, it's not a religious book.
  ...
  Dean: I've had several, but the one I decided to share in the book has to do with a traffic stop I made as a trooper. The car had a taillight out and the man jumped out of the car and begged me not to arrest him, said that he had a warrant out for his arrest for an OUIL (Operating Under the Influence of Liquor). I checked him, and sure enough, he had a warrant. I went back to the car and he said, "please don't arrest me, I have this date tonight. I thought, oh no. He said, "I really do. She's my soul mate. She's the one and if I don't see her tonight I just know it's not going to work out." I don't know what it was about him. Maybe it was his body language, how he said it. Reading between the lines, I thought, there is some element of truth to what he's saying.
  ...
  Dean: Yes, and some people call it divine intervention. Some people call it intuition. Some people call it angel messages. I didn't mind whatever belief system a person had. These stories really focus on the miracles of intuition and learning to integrate that with your experiences, education and common sense; because I think that makes a much better police officer.
  
  NE: would you recommend this book to others working in the same field, like firefighters or EMTs? Dean: Any first responder would really enjoy it, families and friends of first responders would, I think, really love it.
  ...
  Dean: Seldom told.
  ...
  Dean: You do, and I think it's all about perceptions.
  ...
  Dean: Yes.

  TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) Ingrid Dean is a trained artist with an eye for detail and a penchant for creativity.
  
  She received a bachelor's degree in art from Wayne State University and enjoys capturing vivid images with the stroke of a pen or brush.
  
  But Dean isn't a college professor, and she doesn't pay the bills selling watercolors on the local art fair circuit. She's a Michigan State Police detective sergeant responsible for solving crimes, a task she contends has much in common with crafting a good work of art.
  
  ''When you're looking at a case, you're looking at as many perspectives as possible in order to put the puzzle together,'' Dean, 47, said. ''When I'm investigating a case, it's like gathering all the different pieces and putting it together in one picture. Some pieces require some creative thinking.''
  
  Dean, a nearly 20-year veteran of the state police, recently became the first female detective at the Traverse City post. She's served in several spots around the state, but her recent assignment brings her back to a community where she first served as a trooper from 1989 to 1996.
  
  ''I love it, absolutely love it,'' she said. ''I have many old friends (here). ... I have a lot of nice connections, and there's a lot of beauty in the area.''
  
  She replaces Detective Sgt.
  ...
  Dean, a native of Harrison, spent the bulk of her state police career with the Grayling crime lab as a polygraph examiner. She last served for about a year as a detective in the Munising post in the Upper Peninsula.
  
  Dean's only been gone a decade or so, but she noticed significant changes upon her return to the area.
  
  ''It's a little busier, little more traffic,'' she said. ''And I think there's a lot more cultural activities going on.
  ...
  Dean joins a handful of female detectives in the area.
  ...
  The position comes with ''tremendous'' responsibility, Dean said.
  
  ''Probably the most important aspect of detective work is keeping up with what's going on the in the community and establishing connections and informants,'' she said. ''People that are willing to speak out.''
  
  In her spare time, Dean is an avid elk hunter and yoga enthusiast.

  Detective Sergeant Ingrid Dean has worked in the Michigan State Police for almost twenty years. She has compiled 60 inspiring and most interesting stories submitted by police officers nationwide.
  
  The contributors are listed, however the stories are anonymous-so it could be any police officer we know. People in law enforcement also appreciate their privacy, and because some of the stories talk about messages from God, intuition and dreams that gave the officers messages to help them solve cases, no names were used.
