One last meeting for the Chief!

A few weeks ago, Cadet Chief Przymylski attended his last meeting with the PCSO Cadets!! Chief Przymylski joined the Cadet Program in the Fall of 2022. During his Phase 1 Class, he took home the Top Cop Award. Through his time with our Phase 2 Cadets, he quickly worked his way up the ranks to Chief. He has brought home many awards for the PCSO Cadets Program at several NERLEEA events and challenges, including winning the Top Cadet Challenge two years in a row at the NERLEEA Lieutenant Dustin Demonte and Sergeant Alex Hamzy Memorial Cadet Tactical Challenge. Also during his time as Cadet Chief, he completed an Internship with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office during his Senior year of High School.

Chief Przymylski is passing on the torch to our next Cadet Chief and will be moving on to attend West Virginia University to study Forensic Analytics.

We know that Chief Przymylski has an extremely successful future ahead of him! We could not be more proud of the amazing individual he has become and we cannot wait to see what the future has in store for him! We wish you nothing but the best Chief! Congratulations and Good Luck! And remember that you will always be part of this Team and Family.

On Monday, the Putnam County Hostage Negotiation Team taught our Cadets the basics of Crisis Negotiations. Our Cadets were able to complete a scenario involving hostage. A negotiation team was selected where they were able to utilize the equipment within our negotiation van while a tactical team responded directly to the scene. Our Cadets learned the importance of communication between these two teams! Thank you to our Hostage Negotiation Team for taking the time to instruct our Cadets!!

On Monday, our Cadets participated in a lesson on Active Attackers on how to respond to an incident involving an Active Attacker. Cadets then participated in scenarios based on the topic, working on their tactical skills!
