We all enjoy a day on the slopes, but please remember to not block Ski Rd. Blocking this road can hinder emergency responders and slow down assistance in case of an emergency.

Police cars are small, but fire trucks and ambulances are not! Let's work together to ensure everyone stays safe. Thank you!! |

On Friday, five MPs from the Fort Wainwright Police Department received small arms instruction from special agents assigned to CID. The intent was to hone the skills with small arms and practice marksmanship combined with speed and accuracy as well as build camaraderie between the agencies. The morning was dedicated to classroom instruction and MPs shot on an indoor range off post in the afternoon.
