Training
Chief Edward Kulhawik Eastham Police ~ Control Chief ~ Lieutenant Kevin Lennon Yarmouth Police ~ Point of Contact ~ During the spring of 2002, the
Chiefs of Police of the Cape Cod Region entered into serious discussion over
the immediate need to form a non-profit group to expand police training and
to procure specialized police equipment for the area. Recognizing the unique features
that the Cape Cod offers, as a recreational and tourist destination, the
chiefs perceived a critical need to not only enhance police training, but to
share resources to adequately protect Cape communities. The chiefs found that some
necessary support resources for special emergencies or life-threatening
situations could be hours away and that this time delay could prove costly
during times of emergency or crisis. The chiefs of police researched other
local police coalitions throughout Massachusetts and then put into motion a
plan to combine some of the resources of their departments to more
efficiently assist residents and visitors. Since the training began in
2002 over 1500 police officers from Cape Cod have been trained in, • Rapid Response to Active
Shooter Incidents, • High Risk Motor Vehicle Stops
and • Low Light Tactics • Less Lethal Specialty Impact
Munitions It is the goal of the training
cadre to provide the most up to date training to the officers working on Cape
Cod. Any questions about the Council
or it's instructors can be made to Lieutenant Kevin
Lennon at the Yarmouth Police Department, 508-775-0445 ex. 2114 or klennon@yarmouth.ma.us.
