The Miami Division office of the Miami Field Division hosted "Bring Your Kids to Work Day". Over 80 children ranging in ages from 4 to 17 participated. SAC Thomas W. Raffanello opened the day by speaking to the children about the importance of their parents' jobs at DEA and how every member of the DEA family has a significant role to play in DEA's mission. The children were shown various aspects of DEA jobs, including forensics, tactical operations, polygraph exams, fingerprinting and a K-9 demonstration. Overall the presentations were successful and well received by the children.
