From Ms. Kramer:
On March 17th, I had the privilege of chaperoning a trip to Manhattan with the NYPD Explorers and two police officers from the 109th precinct. We stopped first at the St. Patrick's Day parade on 5th avenue and watched many members of our armed forces and local city police officers marched passed us. There were many Pipe Bands from high schools, colleges and adult societies. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed being outside.
After the parade we headed to the 20th precinct on the Upper West Side with our officers' Sergent McGowan and took a quick tour of the precinct. After a yummy lunch at Wendy's we headed to the Police Museum all the way at the lower tip of Manhattan. Officer Ishaq led us through the museum and pointed out artifacts from fallen officers from September 11th and sicknesses that eventually killed those who worked at Ground Zero. The students had fun in the mock prison cell and taking a simulated fitness challenge versus the officers. Explorers win!!
