Another successful @phillypolice toy drive to support the USMC #ToysForTots campaign that helps children in our area. Happy Holidays!

The child formally known as “The Boy in the Box” now has a name thanks to forensic genetic genealogy. Now, investigators want to use similar methods to identify other victims as well. NBC10’s investigative reporter Claudia Vargas has the details: on.nbc10.com/fUUEizk

The students (5th-12th grade) who participated in this event were incredible. Their messages on gun violence, racial identity, & socio-economics to self-care, mindfulness, & protecting the planet were inspiring. Thank you for inviting me. Philadelphia Police Department #futureisbright
