This week the 2nd year students of the Law and Public Safety program began a Homeland Security certification course in Overland Search and Rescue (OSAR) taught by Water Valley Fire Department Chief Mark McGavock. So far this week they’ve started the basics including reading a topographical map and using an orienteering compass to plot and navigate a land course. Later in the course, they’ll be taken out into a wooded area to practice the skills they’re learning. Chief McGavok has always been a huge supporter of our students and this program and we are so appreciative of his willingness to give so freely of his time
Thank you to everyone that came out and helped us celebrate our “SPOOK”tacular Science
