🚔 Building Community Connections Through Criminal Justice! 🚔

On October 6th, students from the Criminal Justice and Crime Scene Investigation program at Cass Career Center had the opportunity to partner with the Belton Police Department for their annual National Night Out celebration!

My students did an outstanding job setting up and operating the DWI Pedal Cart attraction, giving community members an opportunity to participate in a fun, interactive activity while learning about the dangers of impaired driving.

One of the most important lessons we teach our future criminal justice professionals is that law enforcement is about more than enforcing law, it's about building relationships, earning trust, and making positive connections with the communities we serve. Events like National Night Out provide students with valuable firsthand experience interacting with the public in a positive, professional, and meaningful way.

I couldn't be prouder of my CJ/CSI students! They represented Cass Career Center with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a willingness to serve. Their hard work and positive attitudes helped make the event a success!

A huge THANK YOU to the Belton Police Department for including my students and continuing to invest in the next generation of criminal justice professionals. Partnerships like this provide learning opportunities that simply cannot be replicated in a classroom.

Great students, great community partnerships, and a great night!

I would like to say thank you to the City of Peculiar and the Peculiar Police Department for donating 2 patrol vehicles to my program at the Cass Career Center. The CJ/CSI program has been in desperate need of new vehicles in order to continue to provide high level educational experiences to the students enrolled in this program.

These vehicles will be used as educational tools in order to prepare students for careers in the law enforcement field. Without these amazing partners, students in this program would have to rely on theroies in order to prepare for the next step in their educational journey.

Thank you Chief Shepard, Captain Grabmiller, and the entire Board of Alderman for choosing to invest into the future of the criminal justice field.

The CJ/CSI class has kicked off the 2026 school year with focusing on engagement, fi***rm safety, responsible handling, and the legal justification for the use of deadly force in law enforcement.

Students have consistently demonstrated professionalism during safety procedures and have a blast while participating in the program’s immersive fi***rm-training simulation alongside their peers.

They are thoroughly enjoying the engaging, hands-on experiences, that are instrumental to the idea of developing teamwork, building confidence, and creating a meaningful and enjoyable learning environment!

This week I had the opportunity to go watch a couple of my students dominate outside the classroom!

On Monday I had the honor of escorting Skyla Allen from Lone Jack High School out on to the volleyball court. Skyla picked me as an influential educator. Thank you Ms. Allen.

On Wednesday I went to watch junior Maddie Belt from Drexel High School score the winning point in the first set of her volleyball match.

I love going to watch my students excel outside of the classroom!

Keep working hard ladies!!

First week in the books!!

We had an amazing first week in the CJ/CSI class. The senior leadership planned an entire week of team building exercises and classroom management strategies.

The incoming students are fantastic!! We focused a lot on communication activities The blind draw, which focuses on what you communicate is not always what is recieved. Both parties are responsible for the outcome, so how do we make are communication more clear, concise, complete, and correct. WOW do we have some artists!!

The students played telephone charades. It helps them understand that communication breaks down the more an idea is communicated whether through speech or action.

They participated in trust games such as the blind obstacle course, and the blind ring game. Knowing your partner has your back is key in this career field!

I am so proud of the command staff because all of their hard work over the summer paid off!! Great job!! I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year holds.

I also want to thank my new students for believing in us and trusting the process. It is going to be a great year. Keep up the good work, and keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You never know how far you can go unless you push the boundaries of what you believe is possible!!

Summer Leadership Training!!!

The 2026/2027 command staff started their year off on Monday August 10th with a 2 day leadership training. These amazing students are preparing for the upcoming school year. They are learning about leadership styles, communication, teamwork, empathy, and participating in scenario based training to better prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead.

This is a great group of leaders and the incoming 1st years will be lucky to have this group lead and guide them through this school year. Thank you to all of my command staff for giving up some of your last days of summer and your commitment to this program!!!

IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!!

Amazing Professional Development!!!!

Over the last week I had the opportunity to participate in training at the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science in New Haven CT. The institute houses some of the most state of the art training in disciplines such as criminalistics, forensic trace, fabric impression, genetic genealogy (FIGG), questioned documents, BPA, forensic biology, forensic photography, and DNA!

It was a privilege to receive instruction from experts in their fields who are frequently called upon to consult on some of the most challenging, and sometimes newsworthy, cases around the world.

Fellow instructors participating in this symposium were from around the country and the networking opportunities were valuable in and of themselves.

Opportunities like this for instructors are so important to the future of forensic science and I am so lucky to have been able to attend! I cannot wait to share all I learned with my students.

What an amazing 2 years it has been. All of you walked in 2 years ago not knowing what to expect and not sure of what you wanted your future to look like. The growth I was privileged to witness was extraordinary! I have no doubt you will all do great things!

Thank you 2026 seniors for allowing me to be a small part of your life. Thank you for making me laugh and for putting up with my non stop movie quotes, random dance episodes, and for the morning conversations that turned into hour long rabbit holes.

Thank you for making your mark on my program. Thank you for making my program better. Thank you for your love and your trust. I am so blessed to do what I do and it is students like you that keep me coming back.

Now go make good choices, make the world a better place, and of course, Don't Do Drugs!!!!

With much love, admiration, and respect,

Officer Kelly
