If you have ever been interested in learning about police training techniques, you are invited to attend a Tri-County Symposium on 21st Century Police Training. This unique experience will provide the community a first-hand view of the current techniques and skills that are being taught to police recruits as well as seasoned officers.
This Symposium is a joint effort by the Sheriff's Offices of St. Mary's County, Charles County and Calvert County and will provide the public with a look at state-of-the-art police training techniques and facilities.
