Breakfast with the Chief of Police

As part of the PTA fundraiser silent auction, we won a breakfast with the chief of police including a tour of the station and a ride to school in a police car. We had to get there early! But, the girls were excited to have sprinkle donuts. :) They really enjoyed the tour of the station and particularly loved running the sirens and the lights on a police car. We showed up a school a few minutes late and it was rainy, so most of their friends were already in school and didn't get to see them arrive in the police car.

Here they are with Chief Gillette and Deputy Chief McGreal.

The girls got a chance to sit in the holding cell. They were surprised by how heavy the doors were.

In the roll call room... the girls thought it was so cool that they had cameras and could see people walking around the police station. They each took turns running to the nearby room and waving into the camera at each other.

It was raining, so we got to tour the police car in the garage they bring the criminals in. Made for some loud sirens!

They got to sit in the car and run the sirens and lights. This was definitely a highlight of their tour!

They got to try on the deputy chief's bullet proof vest!

Officer Stacy was the one that gave us the tour and the other officer drove us to school.

Ready for their ride to school in the back of the police car. The seats were hard plastic and not good for car seats. Go figure. :)

We made it to school!

Such a fun and interesting experience!
