🐾 Exploring Careers in Law & Public Safety! 🐾

Last week, our Law & Public Safety students had a special visit from Mac, an Electronic Detection Dog who plays a vital role in law enforcement. 🐶💼

Mac helps locate child abuse materials and also serves as an emotional support dog for child victims — an incredible example of how technology and compassion come together in public safety careers.

This hands-on experience gave our students valuable insight into the many career paths within Law Enforcement and the impact they can have in protecting and supporting their communities. 💙👮‍♀️
