Officer White receives Alive at 25 certification.
Officer Scott White, the TRPD School Resource Officer and defensive tactics instructor, was recently certified as an instructor of Alive at 25, provided through the South Carolina National Safety Council.
From the SCNSC Web site: "Alive at 25 is a survival course developed by the National Safety Council and is designed to prevent the number one killer of teens, automobile crashes. Alive at 25 is taught by off duty Deputy Sheriffs, and Municipal Police Officers. The course is delivered in one 4 ½ hour program which focuses on the behaviors and decision-making paradigms that young drivers and passengers display behind the wheel. Instructors hold candid conversations with students about what can happen if they practice risky behavior or make other poor decisions in an automobile.
Officer White underwent an extensive selection process to be among the finalists selected for this certification, including having to submit four essays. 32 applicants were reduced to 11 class members and ultimately 9 completed the course and received certification.
