Criminal justice students at Chagrin Falls High School gained real-world law enforcement experience this fall through an interactive lesson on traffic stop procedures. The hands-on demonstration was led by Officer Baldwin and social studies teacher John Scott, who walked students through the complex dynamics of vehicle stops from both law enforcement and civilian perspectives.
The lesson provided students with practical insights into proper police protocols while also emphasizing citizens' rights during traffic stops. Assistant Superintendent Jared Mulheman participated in the educational simulation, volunteering as a driver in mock scenarios to help demonstrate proper procedures and interactions.
The experiential learning opportunity gave students a comprehensive understanding of this common law enforcement interaction, combining classroom instruction with practical application. Through this immersive approach, students learned valuable lessons about law enforcement procedures and civil rights in a controlled educational environment.
