SALISBURY, Md.- The Salisbury Police Department recently teamed up with the 50K Souls Youth Empowerment Program to give children in the community a weeklong introduction to careers and the criminal justice system.
The program provided participants with hands-on learning opportunities designed to help them better understand how different parts of the justice system operate. During the week, the children explored the day-to-day operations of the Salisbury Police Department and learned about the agency's internal functions.
