Week 9 of Class

During the week 9 of the West Warwick Citizen's Police class we learned about accident reconstruction with Officer Briand Ketcham that part was for a half hour. The rest of the class officer Robert Hazard went over DUI's and Officer Clark demonstrated what happens when you have too much to drink. During the class they showed us the arrest package on the paper work that officer's have to fill out when the arrest a person for DUI.

 The Providence Police brought down their BAT Mobile that the Officer's and other communities use when they are doing RIPTIDE (DUI Patrols) This way they don't have to go back to the station. In the BAT Mobile there are 2 jails cells. We got a tour of this bus during our class.

After we toured the BAT Mobile they showed us how they would give some -one a field sobriety test. This test includes Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) -eye test, Walk &Turn test and the One Leg Stand (OLS) . Usually  they will look to see if you miss any of the instructions they give you during the test. For a new officer it usually takes them about 8 hrs to get the paperwork done and the experienced officer it takes them a couple of hours.

Week 1 of Beginner Yoga Series

Image
On Monday nights I have started taking a six week beginner introduction to yoga class series that  at Yoga With Brenda is offering. The first class lesson on Monday night was all about the foundations of Yoga and going over the kind of yoga it is. Also during the yoga class that night we worked on poses that helped to lengthen and stretch the our entire body and took it slow. This 6 week introduction to yoga series is good for new or advanced yogi's, this way you can know if you are doing the poses correctly. I'm looking forward to next  Monday class lesson where we will learn about breathing and stretching exercises. Thanks for reading -Bethany

Yoga for the First Time- Year in Review

Image
A year ago today on May 26 th ’2016, I started something brand new for the first time and that was yoga! Last year the first yoga class I took was at Laughing Elephant Yoga and the class   “Basic Yoga Beginner”. When starting out I didn’t know what to expect from a yoga class or if I would even like it, but boy was I wrong I have fallen in love with yoga and enjoy learning new yoga poses, like downward dog, tree pose, and warrior poses. These days I try to do yoga at least 3 times a week if I’m lucky either at Yoga with Brenda or at Laughing Elephant. So far Yoga has taught me to unplug for an hour or so and have time for me and unplugging for me is hard when you're in the media. The Yoga has also challenged me in many different ways it has helped me come out of my comfort zone and over the past year I have meet many new amazing people that I practice with. Some of the yoga classes I have taken are Basic Yoga  Beginner, Gentle flow, Funky flow, Strong

Police K'9"s

-  K9 Viking Warwick Police RI, his handler is Officer Aaron Steere. I believe every police department in Rhode Island should have police K9’s. The reason why they should have the K9’s is because they can help out in many different aspects.   These types of K9’s are not like our regular dogs! These police K9 dogs are certified in narcotics detection, patrol work, building searches, area searches, tracking, article recovery, and criminal apprehension. The schooling for the K9’s and handlers lasts 6 months. Also they are trained in handler protection.   For the dogs to know what to do their commands are in given in German/Czech.  Some of the police dogs come from Europe.  Many of these police K9’s are aggressive dogs compared to the one’s in airports where they are more passive.   The difference between aggressive and passive ones are that the aggressive dogs will scratch and bark when they find what they are looking for, the passive dogs are the ones that sit when they find their
