The second day of our Summer Enrichment Program was packed, with mini-trainings in life-saving skills and lessons for personal growth. Participants received Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training at our Training Center, where they learned to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs), CPR bag valve masks, and manual techniques to respond effectively in emergency situations.

Following the passage of the Hanson-Milone Safe Boating Act of 2024 in Massachusetts, every person behind the wheel of a seafaring vessel is required to obtain certification and pass a boater safety test. In response, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department has joined forces in collaboration with the Environmental Police Department, the Winthrop Police Department, the Boston Police Department, the State Police Department, Marine units, and other agencies in a mission to provide a Safe Boating course for Massachusetts residents. Since May, the coalition has been offering classes to the public, allowing participants to obtain their Boater Safety Certification while gaining the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for safe boating.
