Future MPs get police dog demonstration.
National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers enrolled in Phase I of the Basic Military Police Officer Course, taught at the Fort Pickett-based 183rd Regiment, Regional Training Institute, receive a police dog demonstration July 15, 2014. The demonstration was conducted by Staff Sgt. John Tanner, an instructor for the course who also works for the Halifax Sheriff’s Office. Tanner brought his tracking dog, Hannah, to the schoolhouse to explain the various ways in which law enforcement agencies use dogs to improve their effectiveness, then he demonstrated Hannah’s tracking abilities. The two-week MP course focuses on garrison law and order, teaching the students enrolled in the course how to respond to a variety of incidents. The 17 students in the course came from California, Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Maryland and Washington, D.C. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Terra C. Gatti, Virginia Guard Public Affairs)
