28 Speakers in 28 Days Series: Officer Jackson

Monday, February 28th, 2022—As part of the 28 Speakers in 28 Days series, the Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship students in 1C received a special guest speaker, Officer Jackson from the Syracuse Police Department. 

During her visit, Officer Jackson led a group discussion with the students that covered important topics such as what a police officer does, what type of situations police respond to, and much more. Officer Jackson even showed the students some of the tools she wears to work, including a vest, camera, radio, gloves, and flashlight. She also explained that her words are the most important tool that she uses! Much like the students, police officers use their words to talk through problems or help people. In addition to the neat tools and gadgets, Officer Jackson shared an incredible insight that police officers do their work from their patrol car which is equipped with a computer and printer.

Thank you, Officer Jackson, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to spend time with the Atoms and share information and insight into your daily duties and responsibilities as a Syracuse Police Officer. Also, thank you for being a first responder!
