Ryan Ort, Founder and Director of the program, there have already been four young people who have earned themselves certificates of achievement in the Model Citizen Program, having built the model police car and visited local police headquarters. Two stories are presented below.

A.C. met with Officer Clark at the Police HQ in Chapel Hill before building his police car. Officer Clark gave him a guided tour of the officer training area, a Chapel Hill Police car (of which he sat in the front and back!) as well as the headquarters building, the booking area and a review of what is in her "utility belt". He was able to get a lot of his questions answered about the many different ways the Police help keep our communities safe. A.C. was deputized as a Junior Officer at the meeting.

Our second Model Citizen Award Certificate holder! K.C. met with officer Clark of the Chapel Hill Police Dept. for a VIP tour. Not only did K.C. complete part of the police physical fitness course but K.C. also got to see the evidence processing area (a thrill for all us CSI fans!), spend about 30 sec. in a holding cell as well as experience an accidental meeting with the SWAT team in the lobby. Some serious good times!
