Perry Police Department Updates

The Perry Police Department was decorated by alumni of

the Citizens Police Academy and other members of the

community with blue ribbons. The ribbons are a way of

showing support by the community for the men and women of

the Police Department. According to the alumni, this was

a small token of appreciation and support for what our

police do on a daily basis serving their fellow man. On

behalf of Steve Lynn, Chief of Police, and the men and

women of the Perry Police Department, we would like to

thank the alumni and the community for their continued

support.

******************

K-9 handlers of the Police Department attended the HITS Conference in Jacksonville, Florida. HITS Training & Consulting brings cutting edge police dog training to agencies from around the country. HITS training is designed exclusively by Police K-9 Handlers, for Police K-9 Handlers. HITS instructors are first class professionals who know the value of a well-trained police dog. Officers get hands on experience in tracking,

deployment and detection, as well as courtroom testimony. Corporals Jeff Keenom, Armando Sanchez and Officers Nick Boutwell and Van Arflin attended the training.

*****************

Lt Ken Ezell, Criminal Investigative Division, attended training in Milledgeville, Georgia for procedures in social media investigation. Social media affects every aspect of today's life. Unfortunately, criminals see social media as a way to promote illegal activities such as street gangs and drug sales. Abusers keep a watchful eye on their victims by sending them private messages that go unseen for those who are not trained to recover the messages. Stalkers and child predators are able to

take advantage of people they know, especially children who are unaware of their motives. The class teaches how to uncover entire organizations, and how to do a specific search warrant that captures all the data needed to successfully prosecute a case for just about any type of crime.

********************

Captains William Phelps and James Buck were recently

honored for their excellence in service. The awards were

presented during the 9/11 Day of Service Opening Ceremony t the Warner Robins Law Enforcement Center on Friday, eptember 11, 2015. The event was sponsored by the ouston County GOP and the Women of Warner Robins. The wards expressed the appreciation for their personal ommitment, dedication and performance of duty.
