HOUGHTON -- The Houghton City Police Department had some special visitors early Tuesday...students from the Great Explorations Program under the BHK Child Development Board. They spent some time at the police department, learning about law enforcement.
Chief of Police John Donnelly led a tour giving an inside view of the station's office. He talked about handcuffs, weapons, and how to properly use a taser.
The program is designed for hands on learning and family involvement activities during the school year and the summer.
"We feel it's a good opportunity to get out and meet the kids under good circumstances," said Donnelly. "We enjoy having them come down there; it's never too soon to start building rapport with the kids that you're going to be serving."
The police department will be open for touring to the general public on the first of September.
