2008 Municipal Police Training Class Week 20

SPMA # 1 has completed their 20th week of training. The skills, knowledge and abilities of the students have grown tremendously since May 5, 2008. The highlight of this week's training was Team Building at the Academy's Ropes course. The class had to work as a team and trust one another to complete the training. This week also included the third round of Applied Patrol Procedures; scenarios included high and low risk motor vehicle stops, a missing child search, booking procedures in the mock station, the service of a restraining order and SIMMUNITION drills emphasizing the use of cover. Other topics covered this week were Patrol Rifle familiarization, Basic Crime Scene Response and Community Policing taught by Sgt. Watson of the Medway Police Department. The 1st SPMA is prepared for the final week of training.
