“Over the past two weeks, APD officers have been able to train in real-life critical scenarios using the de-escalation tools and skills they have previously developed through the Integrating Communications, Assessment and Tactics Training.”
Koutoujian added in the release: “I want to thank Chief Flaherty for the opportunity to once again partner with Arlington PD to offer this valuable training. I also appreciated the opportunity to speak with Town Manager Adam Chapdelaine and Select Board member Eric Helmuth during a visit where they were able to see this training firsthand.”
In 2020, more than 875 officers participated in trainings in the mobile training center. To date this year, the center has been used by more than 350 municipal officers from agencies, including police departments in Tyngsborough, Billerica, Bedford, Concord, Acton, Hopkinton, Stoneham and Medford.
The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office purchased the center with federal grants in 2010.
