  On January 25th -27th, 2019 the Lamar County School District Police Department hosted a 32 hour International Police Mountain Bike Association Course at Oak Grove High School.

  We were able to train four LCSDPD School Resource Officers and two University of Southern Mississippi Policemen as well. During the training our SROs learned how to go up and down stairs, hop curves, power slide and many other things. The skills they learned will be extremely helpful while patrolling around the district.
