Everyone I talked to was very nice, and I had a lot of fun learning about what they do." He further added, "I am so glad I had the opportunity to go to their office and spend a day with them."

Chloe Lester echoed similar sentiments, highlighting her experience with Lubbock Police Department. "My experience was fun. I got to see the behind the scenes of looking for fingerprints on evidence," Chloe said.
