Municipal Police Training Committee Hosts 28th Annual Law Enforcement Stations Day for Massachusetts Youth

More than 100 students from across the State participated in the program

LYNNFIELD – On Saturday, the Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC) welcomed more than 100 students to its Lynnfield Academy for Law Enforcement Stations Day, an interactive training and career exploration event. Organized with the support of the Spirit of Adventure Council for Scouting America, participants came from several Explorer Posts, Cadet Programs, and high schools with criminal justice tracks. The daylong program included a hands-on scenario-based competition as well as a public safety fair with college and career opportunities.

The success of this year’s event highlighted the importance of collaboration between agencies, public safety partners, schools and youth programs. The MPTC was honored to host and be a part of this tradition of preparing and inspiring the next generation of public safety professionals.

Working in teams, Stations Day participants competed in a series of realistic public safety scenarios that simulate the complexity of 21st century policing. Rotating through these hands-on scenarios provided students with exposure to crash investigations, family disturbances, mental health crisis, impaired driving investigations, neighbor disputes, interview and interrogation, and traffic stops. Students also demonstrated their competitive swimming and physical agility skills.

In addition to the competition, the event’s public safety fair connected students with representatives of New England colleges, local, state, and federal agencies. The event provided a forum to discuss career opportunities, hiring pathways, internships, and training programs. Participating agencies represented police, corrections, emergency communications, fire services, and emergency management functions.

At the conclusion of the program, an awards ceremony recognized the group’s achievements and those who demonstrated the highest levels of performance, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, professionalism, and problem solving.  Congratulations to  -
