"Training never stops. Franklin PD works with Blue Line Corp. every year to bring their live fire trailer to the PD. Officers are put through accuracy, and judgment scenarios to keep them fresh even when the outdoor ranges are not available.
Here Deputy Chief Mill and Sergeant Johnson work through a video scene in which officers are given a scenario, and walk though the situation and fire live rounds into a projection screen if the situation calls for it. Not all do, and officers must use sound verbal commands, and answer for why they did, or did not shoot.
It is another learning tool the Franklin Police uses. Many people think police training with firearms is all shooting. This type of training forces officers to use good judgement, and explain their actions. Not every scene is a shoot situation, and officers must use de-escalation or less lethal options if called for."

"Proud day for the Franklin Police Department as our officer Tyler Peabody is presented with an award from Norfolk County TTAC and Brookline MA Police Department for his work with the Crisis Intervention Training program.
CIT is an advanced level of training for officers to help them recognize and assist those individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.
Look for coverage from Boston 25 News's Robert Goulston (6pm) and WBZ NewsRadio's Kim Tunnicliffe-WBZ Reporter as they speak to Officer Peabody, Chief Lynch, and Advocates, Inc. mental health clinician Kallie Montagano about the Franklin Police approach to helping those in need.
(yes, Ben saw television cameras and assumed they were here for him..)"
