Students in the law enforcement/police science program at West Side Career and Technology Center participated in a day in the judicial system. The students observed the judicial process at Central Court, under the supervision of District Magistrates Andrew Barilla and Fred Pierantoni. After the court sessions, the students went to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, where they were given a tour and class on the daily operation of the facility. This educational experience was an extension of the classroom curriculum, covering the time span from arraignment to incarceration. The law enforcement/police science program is instructed by William Bevan Jr. At Central Court from left, first row: Rebecca Austin, Deveen Killiri, Deana Rochelle, Margaret Marcy, Nyssa Freeman, Brittany Smith, Alysia Sitar.
