Class 12-15 Week #11
Week #11 Class: May 28 -Sandwich Police Department Specialty Units: mountain bike, ATV, crash reconstruction, and SWAT.
The Specialty Units class, otherwise known as "Show and Tell", is always a hit. The evening started with a presentation by Sgt. Michael Damery (Barnstable PD), Sgt. Chris McDermott (Sandwich PD), and Sgt. Chris Challies telling us of the rigorous training and on-site procedures they face. One thing they wanted to stress to us is that, in spite of their similarity to the military in terms of vehicles, guns, tools and appearance, theirs is a life saving organization. Their primary mission when they arrive on-site is to save lives. The second half of the class had us examining the Mountain Bike, ATV and Traffic Safety units' vehicles.
