When you mentioned the cop's story,  you pretty much described exactly his role in the novel, with a few key differences of course. The cop and Kouichi interacted more than once in the book mainly because his daughter goes to Yomi North and in the next year she might be sent to Class 3-3. Implying that should another calamity occur she might be a recurring character. BTW it's ironic that you bring Columbine up as Colorado and Japan have mountain areas, you could make the class trip happen in Aspen or something.

If you make it in 98 you can actually add a meta level of paranoia implying he may or may not one day be the columbine shooter or have a similiar name. Kinda like 2 Jeff Lebowskis.
