🔍 Hands-on Forensics with Town of Tonawanda Students! 🔎

Recently, Ms. Schlifke’s Forensics class visited the Town of Tonawanda Police Department for a behind-the-scenes look at our forensic lab with Detective Kazmark!

Students got to experience real-world police work firsthand:

🔹 Lifting fingerprints

🔹 Examining fine details using a loupe

🔹 Learning to identify different fingerprint ridge patterns

Hands-on lab time is always a hit with visiting classes! Thank you to Mrs. Schlifke and her students for stopping by and seeing for yourselves how forensic science works in real life—it’s not quite like what you see on TV! 📺✨

A few friendly reminders from your local police department:

🔒 Lock your cars. Yes, even in the driveway. Yes, even “for just a minute.” Criminals also appreciate convenience.
👛 Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Your purse, laptop, wallet, keys, and key fob do not need a sleepover in the car.
🏠 Lock your doors and windows. We support being neighborly. We do not support surprise guests.
🐾 Seven loose dogs this week. Please keep your furry escape artists secured and make sure their collar has an updated ID tag. Your dog may think they’re going on an adventure. We’d rather they stay home.
🚗 25 crashes and 2 DWI/DWAI arrests. Put the phone down, slow down, and if you’ve been drinking, call a friend, call an Uber, call literally anyone who is sober. Your car does not need to be part of your night out.
📱 And scammers are still out there doing scammer things. Don’t answer calls from numbers you don’t recognize, don’t click suspicious links, and definitely don’t send money because a stranger on the phone says you have to.

When in doubt, hang up and call us directly at 716-876-5300.

Stay safe, lock it up, keep the dogs home, and make good choices, Tonawanda. 💙🚔
