CADILLAC The fire trucks were real, the police cars were real, so were the ambulance, the damaged cars, and broken glass. But the blood wasnât real.
The Wexford-Missaukee Career Tech Center held a mock crash Thursday morning and afternoon for its public safety students, said CTC Public Safety Instructor Brett DeAugustine. He said the mock accident was practical application for the students, applying what they learned throughout the year.
Students looking to go into law enforcement were investigating the crash and taking a suspect into custody. Those looking to go into firefighting extracted a patient from one of the two cars involved in the mock crash, while EMS students helped stabilize the patient and get her into an ambulance and readied for transport to a hospital.
CADILLAC â A partnership between a student group at the Wexford-Missaukee Career Technical Center and the Michigan State Police is trying to bring awareness to the community about an important social issue.
That issue is human trafficking and the partnership is hoping it will help to save the life of a person who finds themselves in a terrible situation. Recently, students belonging to the National Technical Honor Society and two troopers from the Cadillac Michigan State Police Post went to several area hotels to see if they would be willing to use soap and make-up removal wrapped with a red band printed with the National Human Trafficking Hotline number.
