On February 7, several PIRE Calverton Staff were invited to tour the Prince George’s (PG) County Police training facility. The invitation grew out of on-going conversations that Mary Gordon has been having with the department as she prepares to implement the National Institute of Justice award.  The photos below capture the group, who were led on a tour by Major Terence Sheppard. Simulations and demonstrations were conducted by new recruits as part of their hands on training.  Mary was also able to test her lethal force judgement skills in a training simulator.   P. G. County Police Department, the 24th largest department in the U.S., is most proud of their high-tech equipment and comprehensive training program.  We look forward to continuing to build a working relationship and partnering with the P.G. County Police Department.
