Room 12's SWAT Team!

Officer Golter stopped by yesterday to show us his gear that he uses when working on the SWAT team. Some of it is similiar to what he uses when he is patrolling and some of it is completely different.

He has to wear a special suit that has all kinds of neat loops and belts so that he can attach stuff to himself. Along with a hard hat, bullet-proof vest and radio, he also has to carry special glasses that help him see in the dark, a gas mask for his face and zipties that can be used for all sorts of things.

Once he was done talking, we were allowed to try on some of his gear.

These two look pretty tough don't they!

While CK was wearing the vest, Officer Golter had him show the class the back of the vest and how to carry out a member of the team if they are injured. Once CK had a turn to be "drug out of danger" the rest of the kids quickly wanted to be injured as well.

It was a great visit and we all had a lot of fun looking at the different things Officer Golter brought in and we learned a lot too! Thank you Officer Golter!!
