Police officers from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, Bremen Police Department and Plymouth Police Department attended the 7th Annual Law Enforcement Field Day hosted by the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office.
The training was held on September 29th and October 6th, and was broken into two sessions per day. Officers attending the event received 8 hours of in-service training. The training was held at the Warsaw Fire Department Training Center and Warsaw Police Department Range.
Officers completed scenarios and training courses including Emergency Vehicle Operations, a Combat Shooting Course, Low-Light Building Clearing with a manual breaching component, Rescue Tack Force principles and Downed Person Recovery with an emphasis on traumatic wound treatment. The training was scenario-based, placing officers in controlled scenarios that directly reflect incidents they may encounter during the course of their duties.
This year’s event was open to large and small departments from Kosciusko, Whitley, Wabash, Marshall, Fulton, Noble and Elkhart County. Over 100 officers participated in the training.
Instructors from the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office, Winona Lake Police Department, Milford Police Department, Winona Lake Police Department, Silver Lake Police Department, Bremen Police Department and Lutheran EMS ran the training event over the course of both days, spending well over 20 hours putting the event together.
