Officer Golter

Officer Golter stopped by our room today to visit with us. He is one of our pen pals and we write letters to him throughout the year. On his next visits he will bring in some of his SWAT gear and we will also have a chance to explore his police car. Cool stuff!

On this visit he shared with us the different things that he carries on him at all times. He explained how his bullet proof vest works as well as how officers are always safe and careful with their guns. He didn't show the students his gun but he did explain why officers carry one.
He also explained why he had two different pairs of handcuffs and why they were different sizes.


On the board Officer Golter showed us how a taser works when it is fired and also how it works with just the electrical current.

It makes a loud noise when it is just the electrical current! That got their attention!

When he was done showing and explaining everything on him he answered questions. The students had great questions and they showed that they had been paying very good attention while he was talking. The students also had a chance to feel the handcuffs - how heavy they were and how big. They were very surprised at what a handcuff key looked like.

Thank you Officer Golter for coming and visiting us!
