The document discusses leadership skills and provides examples from a police situation during Hurricane Gaston in 2004. It describes how the hurricane dropped 10-14 inches of rain in central Virginia, causing major flooding and over $130 million in damages. During the storm, the police responded to over 900 emergency calls and performed numerous rescues, but unfortunately 9 deaths occurred from the flooding. The document then highlights the leadership of police sergeant David A. Stone, who swam through floodwaters to rescue a woman trapped in a car, earning him the Virginia Medal of Valor.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Leadership is many things….planning, motivating, focus, etc., however in police work we use the litmus test from a quote by a famous English Rudyard Kipling.
- From the Scoutmaster
- Quick commercial about the Chesterfield County Police Dept
- When I was your age, I watched a show call Adam-12 , where two police officers were always shown going lights and siren from emergency calls such as robberies, assaults, accidents, etc. This is a big part of being a police officer, but its much more. Patrol or Uniformed officers (first responders).
- Police officers have many specialty fields, such as K9 officers, SWAT, mangers, motorcycle officers, aviation officers, bike officers, detectives, emergency mangers mentors to youth and school resource officers, but usually officers on the street..patrol or uniform officers.
- Usually they’re the ones who are first on scene when there’s trouble.
- Many different merit badges directly or indirectly teach a scout how to communicate, such as public speaking, communication (eagle required), American business, citizenship badges, journalism, salesmanship and scholarship. These and 110 other merit badges give your scouts a wide range of experience and skill. Communication is only one of those skills.
