Fortuna Police Department gives special tour to local students

FORTUNA, CA. – Fortuna school children got the chance to get acquainted with local law enforcement on Thursday.

Headed up by Measure Z’s recently funded School Resource Officer Lindsey Frank, elementary and middle school students were invited to the Fortuna Police Department for a tour of the facilities.

It was all in an effort to build trust between the children and their local law enforcement, and during their fieldtrip, they got to see the dispatch center, equipment room, and meet officers who take care of their community.

“There’s a lot of negative realationships built between family and law enforcement, so when kids can interact with me at school or at the police department, they can see that we are not so scary, and that we are here to help,” said Officer Lindsey Frank.
