This event provides students with the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills in various career fields, including criminal justice.

These dedicated students secured the top three positions in their categories, showcasing their dedication, hard work, and invaluable mentorship from the Community Policing Team. This achievement not only highlights the strength of the partnership between the students and local law enforcement but also emphasizes the impact of hands-on mentorship on students’ academic and professional development.

The students are as follows:

🥇 1st Place: Cyerra Perry
🥈 2nd Place: Leland Akau Morgan
🥉 3rd Place: Lanei “Ace” Tarango-Velez
