Powell spent a large part of their presentation in a question-and-answer exchange with students about various aspects of how police operate in communities, on topics such as how they investigate cases of complaints; how they prioritize them; how the cases are prosecuted and simple details about how decisions are made to pursue (or not pursue) suspects or suspect motor vehicles into adjoining communities. Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo sat in for a good portion of the presentation and said he was highly impressed. Malden Police Lt.

The interaction was fantastic and it was easy to see that the students and the offi cers learned a great deal from each other." Tivnan said he was not sure if the presentation was going to fi ll the entire 80-minute class block, but that every minute was used by the class. "It was outstanding. All of the students' questions were answered. We could have gone another halfhour if we had it." Tivnan said another visit from the offi cers to another section of the Examining Criminal Justice class was already in the works. "We will keep up these great opportunities to see and hear from our young people and all of our residents of Malden," Lt. Powell said.
