Law Enforcement Experts Provide Crucial Information for Pikes Peak Prep Students

Lawrence Martinez, parent of a Pikes Peak Prep student, organized a presentation from local law enforcement agencies for the 5th through 12th grade classes at Pikes Peak Prep. Mr. Martinez has arranged these programs for various schools in the local community. This program focused on our youth being aware of their actions, the consequences of those actions, taking care of your friends and helping them with wise choices. All four presenters focused their discussion on making smart decisions. They also discussed the dangers of the internet and all grades were engaged and asked many questions.


Alan Gasper, Defense Attorney, is involved with youth sentencing and was able to provide additional insight. Detective Mark Pfoff, El Paso County Sheriff’s Department had students so engaged that nine of these students now are interested in law enforcement careers. He talked about some of his experiences with internet crimes and bullying. Ken Hilte, MSM, Chief of Police, Pikes Peak Community College, was able to provide examples and talked with the students on their level. Finally, Mr. Martinez was able to provide additional information and hosted the question and answer session.
