Who's In It for a Who Done It?

The Urbandale Police Department has at least one program that lots of kids want to be part of, so if you're interested, you'll want to register soon.

The department has opened enrollment for its next two Junior Detective classes, to be held October 13 and November 10, from 10 a.m till noon.

The class is for ages 8-12 years old and the cost is $10 per child. This is a popular class, and enrollment is capped at 12 students.

Participants work with Urbandale Police Detectives and are taught criminal investigative techniques to help solve a mock crime. They will view a burglary and process fingerprints and other evidence found at the crime scene. They will get to work in the police lab to compare prints and to dust for finger prints. The class also includes a tour of the police station.

Please contact Officer Randy Peterson at 515-331-6804 or e-mail rpeterson@urbandale.org to get an application for your child.
