It's been a busy day here at Greenville PD. First thing this morning our negotiators were called to the scene of a distressed man who had climbed up a RR catwalk and threatened to hang himself. He tied a rope around his neck and secured it to the Rail Road lights and threatened to jump. After about an hour and 40 minutes of negotiations, the man came down on his own, and was taken to Vidant Medical Center for treatment.
Many of our officers are participating in mandatory in-service training this month. Topics include; Legal Updates, Juvenile-Minority Sensitivity Training, Hazardous Materials Training, and Firearms In-Service.
Our team of officers who deployed to the Democratic National Convention will be returning to Greenville Today. Early reports say the officers spent the bulk of their time providing security to various delegate hotels, escorting delegates and protesters, and performing traffic direction duties.
The Greenville Jaycees and the GPD Pal Program is hosting a CornHole Tournament tonight at the Mellow Mushroom Restaurant on Charles Blvd, beginning at 6pm. Entry fees will benefit the Jaycees and PAL. Come on out and support PAL and the Jaycees. These organizations do a lot of good things for the young people in our community.
Have a great Weekend, everyone. Go Pirates!
