You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem is similar to a sampling-with-replacement problem.

For the first officer, there are 25 choices.
For the 2nd officer, there are also 25 choices (because a person can hold more than one office)
For the 3rd officer, there are still 25 choices.
Putting all this together, there are 25x25x25 = ways to choose the officers.
