This was followed by a presentation from the St. Mary’s County Department of Emergency Services Director Steve Walker, Chief of Communications Chris Thompson, and EMS Chief George Edelen who provided an overview of 911 operations. Next, the class watched a firefighting demo and got up close and personal with a variety of tools of the trade. They also heard from Maryland State Fire Marshall Deputy Chief John Nelson who spoke about fire investigation and the role ATF canines play in the process and Sgt. Adam Davies Trooper 2 who briefed the group on the Maryland State Police Aviation division.
During the lunch break, the class learned more about policing the Southern Maryland region during the Tri-County Sheriffs Panel featuring Assistant Sheriff Dave McDowell (Calvert), Sheriff Troy Berry (Charles), and Sheriff Tim Cameron (St. Mary’s).
