Groton Police Officer and Instructor Gordon Candow demonstrates a simulator scenario. He stressed the value of officers learning to deal with the emotional climate of a difficult incident in a simulated environment. He said the system teaches officers to protect themselves while practicing de-escalation techniques. “Your heartrate is up, but you have to think outside the box,” he said, adding that he chose scenarios appropriate to Groton stressing interpersonal communication when talking to a person.
On Wednesday, January 8 at approximately 12:40 p.m. on Townsend Road, a motor vehicle accident involved a single car driven by a 22-year-old Groton woman. The vehicle went off the road and up against some trees. The driver was transported to the hospital as a precaution.
