After the regular meeting of the Newport Police Department volunteers on September 14th, volunteer Wayne Hill showed the other volunteers the procedure in checking out a police vehicle. He started in the radio room; then the briefing room showing everyone where to sign out; we then went outside where he went through the vehicle showing everyone the controls and going over the radio procedure to Lincom. Wayne then asked Lee Fries to show the volunteers the Command Vehicle, #76.

The volunteers always appreciate these "hands on" demonstrations. It is good for the experienced volunteers to "brush up" on techniques and shows some of the newer recruits the proper way to do things. Thanks, Wayne.

The NPD Volunteers helped NPD and the Newport Recreation Department with a skateboard competition on Saturday, September 12th. It was a new experience for the volunteers and we all came away with a new appreciation for the skill and daring involved in this sport.
