Greensburg, PA -- The Office of Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole W. Ziccarelli welcomed over 50 students on Friday, April 28, 2023, for Child Government Day. 

Four groups of children from our local school district spent the morning learning about law enforcement, criminal investigations and prosecuting criminal cases. 

First Assistant Chuck Washburn, Assistant District Attorneys Leo Ciaramitaro, Jennifer Dupilka, and Jenn Brenner taught the students about prosecution and what goes into preparing for cases and trials. 

Chief County Detective Ron Zona and Detective Jenna Derco put out a full display of police gear, protective equipment and investigative resources. 

The students were able to ask questions, try on gear and engage with the very people who aim to protect them.
