American Red Cross
 
 
Recently, I joined the Citizen Police Academy in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I also volunteer with the American Red Cross and serve the Alleghney County Area, as well as Washington County.  This week we are looking forward to a tour of the Police Station in two groups because of the size of the group.  I like what we have learned.  Police Officers are trained in communication skills.  I have invited my friends for coffee to tell them all about our work.  My older neighbors are living in a building in Whitehall where my mother where they have good security.  I think the Chief of Police has good goals for his department and our patrol.  I am enjoying being a part of the group.  He has invited a few of us from the community who are not business men, and live in the neighboring community.   The Chief was selected to by the president of the association for the Chief of Police for the Western Pennsylvania area.  We are enjoying being a part of the class.  I think the goals will carry over into other areas to make everyone feel safe in their community, where we live and volunteer.  I would love to address some new ideas.
