Kids aged 8-13 were more than ready to take on Discovery Day earlier this month! They had a blast trying out the modified P.A.T., swerving through the T.R.A.D.D. course, learning about forensics, watching a thrilling K-9 and flight presentation before heading over to explore speciality vehicles! Our next Discovery Day is March 1st - learn more at https://lnkd.in/ewUzm5zW

Yesterday, PCSO took "show and tell" to the next level at the Great American Teach-In! From the roar of our helicopter overhead to hands-on tours of our cruisers and humvees, students all around the county got a first-hand look at what it takes to keep our community safe. Our K-9's were a paw-sitive hit, evident in these photos of K-9 Holmes who was soaking up all the pets from some of our newest fans (the students)! And of course, our deputies fielded some top-notch questions - plus a few delightfully off-topic stories from the kids that kept everyone laughing. Thanks to all the schools who invited us in and to every young learner who helped make the day unforgettable! We're proud to inspire the next generation.

The Great American Teach-In brought us to classrooms across the county! From the Eagle dropping in to K-9 Holmes soaking up all the pets, our members shared a day full of questions, laughter, and inspiration with local students. We think K-9 Holmes probably had the best day - his grin at the end says it all! Thanks to all who welcomed us and made this day unforgettable!

Congratulations to this dedicated group of PCSO members, who have completed a demanding, 40-hour Honor Guard Academy. They've learned the history and traditions of the Honor Guard while mastering skills such as drill, rifle handling, flag etiquette, and color posting. These members uphold exceptionally high standards of appearance, conduct, and demonstrate a remarkable aptitude for ceremonial duty. They are pictured here with their instructors. The Honor Guard performs a variety of ceremonies with precision and respect, including the presentation and posting of colors, swearing-in ceremonies, memorials, and providing funeral honors for those who have fallen in the line of duty. During these solemn events, the Honor Guard stands vigil beside a fallen officer's casket, ensuring they are never left alone until they are laid to rest. We are proud of their hard work and thank them for their commitment to honor, respect, and service.

Our Property & Evidence Division breaks it all down - literally. They are responsible for handling - and sometimes smashing - over a half a million items. What comes into this division eventually comes out, but how long it stays and how it leaves - well, that depends on a lot of factors. Learn about what happens to firearms, narcotics, and more in this week's edition of Inside the Star at pcsoweb.com/insidethestar (2nd story).
