The Bonners Ferry Police Department is proud to
announce that Corporal Winford “Buddy” Winters
recently returned from two weeks of training in
Las Vegas, Nevada at the Drug Abuse Resistance
Education (D.A.R.E.) academy. Officers assigned
to teach the D.A.R.E. curriculum to area school
children must attend the two week academy in
order to teach.
Corporal Winters joined police officers, deputy
sheriffs, and state troopers from across the
western United States in this training. There
was extensive hands-on field work that was
performed by each student to demonstrate that he
or she could teach and each student had up to
three hours of homework each evening.
Based on his classroom performance, Corporal
Winters finished in the top of his class and was
named “Class Valedictorian."
This fall, Corporal Winters will be assigned as
the School Resource Officer (SRO) at the Bonners
Ferry High School. He will also be responsible
for classroom DARE instruction at Boundary
County Middle School, Valley View Elementary,
Naples Elementary and Mt. Hall Elementary
schools. Corporal Winters is also serving as a
department advisor for the new Explorer Scout
program.
The Bonners Ferry Police Department is striving
to provide professional law enforcement
protection to the citizens of our community. We
are proud of Corporal Winters and his
representation of our city and agency! |
