Thank you to Lt. Will Sapp for speaking to the Port Orchard Rotary and guests about EVOC on February 3, 2026. We learned how crucial training is to our law enforcement in order to safely catch the "bad guy" without harm to the public or themselves by using spike strips, pit maneuvers, etc. in various training areas.
