A Visit from Police Chief Koss!


Today we had a visit from the Hinesburg Chief of Police, Frank Koss.  Did you know that he started his career as a California Highway Patrolman before moving to Vermont?  He's enjoying being in Vermont where the favorite part of his job is patroling the rolling hills of Hinesburg making sure people are being safe. The Chief talked to us about how his job as a police officer helps our community by keeping people safe and making sure people follow the laws just like we follow rules in school!  He told us all about the tools police officers use including handcuffs, pepper spray, and walkie talkies.  His police vehicle has a computer and flashes blue lights!  Chief Koss was happy to tell us the only time he has had to fire his gun is during target practice.  Thank you for helping us learn about the importance of police officers in communities, Chief Koss!
