A group of seventy teenagers representing eight law enforcement agencies across the county took part in an afternoon tour of the central courthouse last week. The Young Explorer Academy students observed first appearance court, spoke with Judge Robert Diaz, watched juvenile detention court, and got a hands-on tour of the BSO Crime Scene Unit.
A special thanks to Karen Sisson who arranged the visit and assisted with the tour.
