Students at Sunnyside work on TPD lowrider

TUCSON, Ariz. — One of the most viral community projects for Tucson Police is getting whole new boost, thanks to students at Sunnyside High School .

The lowrider project has been years in the making. Last summer, Claire Graham showed you the new hydraulics police had installed in an old, retired police cruiser. They've also redone the interior, put on fancy wheels, and souped up the sound system, all without spending a dime of taxpayer money. The students all took right to the project, despite their new classmates, who all happened to be Tucson Police officers.

That dynamic is helping to bridge the exact gap this lowrider car aims to close, as something police and the community can bond over. "Nowadays, teenagers are really in a hard situation, Lizarraga said."And I think this helps us to develop what else we can do, or what else we can go for, and that we're not alone. They're with us and they're here."
