Comments
I can help as officer/handler is needed
Adrian has also complete handler training and can help. If Iker’s cadet officer uniform is approved he will come and Adrian will be his handler.
Troopers arrived at 7:30am. There was parking on the street as well as the parking garage. The ER had a walled 10×10 pop-up tent just for us. They provided a table, and offered chairs if needed. We had access to the drinks/snacks for the walk participants. At 8:30 the troopers began welcoming the participants as they registered and prepared for the walk. We took a break around 9:15, and then continued to mingle with the event participants. The race started at 10, and the trooper high-fived the walkers as they left the start line. They also did photos with those who stayed back. ER was thankful that we joined the event, and will reach out again for the next one. (RSVPs have been verified)
