May Session Recap:
LEADERSHIP ASCENSION:
LAW ENFORCEMENT
|
|
|
It was a beautiful day for our last session of the year - Law Enforcement Day! We started the day off with the class participating in shooting exercises with the CRT team at the APSO Firing Range and squad car training exercises at Lamar Dixon. During lunch, the class listened to Sheriff Bobby Webre and Lt. Col. Donald Capello discuss challenging issues faced by the Sheriff’s Office. The next stop was the Parish Prison in Donaldsonville where we toured the jail and listened to a panel of Ascension Parish prison inmates give a personal perspective of life in prison. The day ended back at the training center with an informative crime scene investigation report by Lt. Marc Dufren.
The class thoroughly enjoyed a look inside our Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office. Special thanks to Sheriff Bobby Webre and Captain TJ Gaugh for scheduling an amazing day for us!
