We had an absolute blast hanging out with local students at Discovery Days at Mylan Park! 🌟

Discovery Days provides supervised, youth-focused day programs for 1st through 8th graders on Monongalia County Schools closure days—and Sgt. S. Neff stopped by to join in on the fun and take some questions from the kids.

A few highlights from today’s Q&A:

🚨 When is the right time to call 911? (An important one!)

🐕 Lots of curiosity about our awesome K-9 officers!

🛡️ What exactly do SWAT teams do?

🚜 “Do you have a tank?” (Spoiler: No tanks here!)

🚔 “How many bad guy cases do you handle per day?”

🛠️ What are all those things on your "tool" belt?

(FYI: Sgt. Neff also had to clarify that no, he does NOT put pepper spray on his spaghetti! 🍝🌶️)

Thank you to Mylan Park and all the awesome students for having us out. We love getting to connect with the next generation in our community! 🤝✨
