WIESBADEN, Germany – On Nov. 15 and 16 at Wiesbaden Elementary, the Directorate of Emergency Services and military police taught a group of third graders all about fingerprinting to showcase how science can help identify people and assist investigators in doing their job.
Scott Luellman, investigator with the Military Police Investigations division, showed students how fingerprints are unique on humans and how they can be used.
Staff Sgt. Anastasiya Jones works with the military police community policing program as their outreach coordinator. Along with this fingerprinting class, she helps coordinate and engages with the community at a variety of events, such as Halloween activities, Law Enforcement Day and an upcoming K9 demonstration in December.
“The program helps people see what the military police do and how we stay connected with our community,” said Jones.
In its third year, the fingerprinting presentation is now integrated into the elementary’s curriculum and engages over 60 students each round.
“Thank you all for letting us come and teach you kids the past two days. It’s the best part of my day,” said Luellman to the students after finishing this year’s activity.
