Rhode Island State Trooper speaks to Pack 88 Cub Scouts

Rhode Island State Trooper Michael Doherty spoke on January 19 to Pack 88 Cub Scouts in Rumford, RI about his 17-year career as a police officer. For one hour, Trooper Doherty captured the attention of Cub Scouts, ages 5-10, as they asked him many questions about what it is like to be a Rhode Island State Trooper. It’s rare to be able to capture the full attention of kids that age for that length of time, but the questions kept coming as Trooper Doherty readily answered everything from how he became a state trooper, and what it’s like in the academy, to some of his more memorable moments as a police officer. Trooper Doherty’s presentation helped the Cub Scouts fulfill their requirements towards earning a badge related to learning about first responders.
