Incoming Orlando Police Chief Val Demings enjoys a laugh while talking with

Memorial Middle School students who attended her Change of Command

ceremony at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre. (JOE BURBANK,

ORLANDO SENTINEL / January 10, 2008)

It was so important to Chief Demings that we arrive on time that she sent

3 police motorcycle escorts to Memorial to escort our bus through the

traffic! As we made our way towards Bob Carr we could see people on

the streets watching our OCPS school bus and wondering what special

dignitaries must be inside!   It was a wonderful experience for our students!
