Forensic Evidence Specialist Gerisch is spending the day at Smart Girls Rock!, helping inspire the next generation of young women to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM).

Representing APD, Gerisch is giving students a closer look at the science behind forensic evidence collection, including forensic photography, fingerprint collection, and injury documentation.

We're glad to be part of an event that encourages curiosity, builds confidence, and opens doors to future possibilities for the next generation of community leaders.

See those green footprints? 👣 They’re a reminder that young people experiencing homelessness aren’t walking alone.

November is Youth HOPE Month, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley’s Youth on the Move initiative brings local organizations together to raise awareness and connect young people with support and resources. Look for green footprints around the Fox Valley and help spread the message that support is out there.

Five years of making a difference, one interaction at a time. 🐾

Happy 5 year anniversary to Certified Facility K9 Edison! From supporting crime victims and connecting with students, to attending public events and boosting morale around the department, Edison continues to show that police K9s have an impact far beyond traditional roles.

Five years in, and he’s still a very good boy with a very important job.
