Vinal Tech Criminal Justice students participate in disaster deployment experience with the National Guard

June 14, 2022

Earlier this month, Vinal Tech’s Criminal Justice and Protective Services program participated in a 3-day, 2-night disaster deployment exercise with the National Guard. Over the course of the trip, students immersed themselves in land navigation exercises, leadership courses, and Stop the Bleed training. Other unique experiences included rappelling lessons, Chinook helicopter aerial demos, and night vision goggle demonstrations.

Staff Sergeant Ian Brown expressed pride in the students saying that they surpassed his expectations and concurred some of their fears.

“I had a blast on our 3 day FTX and will never forget our trip. You all are destined for greatness! Keep up the great work.”
