Vehicle Operations Liabilty is something we at APD are always aware of, especially because we drive emergency vehicles. All our officers are trained in proper driving and responding techniques. Recently Officer Chase, Sergeant Shaw and Detective Brann attended the vehicle operations liability course offered by Dirigo Safety and Officer Chase was so proud, he just had to show off his certificate. Looking good Chase, now put that knowledge to good use! https://dirigosafety.com/
