On Thursday, Deputy Chief Resch spent time with Ms. Sharpe's two senior English classes at Springfield High School. During the visit, she answered questions from students and discussed her experiences as a woman in policing, her career to this point, and the ever-evolving responsibilities of law enforcement. Through the course of the two classes, students were able to ask DC Resch any and everything; from her most interesting arrest to what brought her to the field of policing. Our department is thankful for the invite to engage with local students and we were so impressed with the questions and courtesy shown to us during the visit. Thank you to Ms. Sharpe and all of her 5th & 7th period students! ... See MoreSee Less
