Investigator Scott Murphy and Deputy Mark Gresham participated in the 6th annual Jefferson Area Motor Squad Skills Training Seminar. This seminar is a way for motor officers to improve their riding skills, exchange new training ideas and improve or create inter-agency relationships. It is also an opportunity to give back to the community which supports law enforcement. A portion of the proceeds raised for the 2018 seminar will be donated to The Virginia State Police Foundation and earmarked for the families of Lt. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke Bates. They were tragically killed in the line of duty while providing air support during the August 12th, 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia when their aircraft went down.
