Class 36 has spent a lot of time in scenario-based training, most recently focusing on traffic stops & patrol procedures. 🚓 🚨 This training is important to familiarize them with the different situations, infractions, & the many personalities they’ll encounter on the road.

Not your average commuter! 🦎🚗 Troopers & @ArizonaDOT responded to calls about a large monitor lizard walking along EB Loop 101 in Phoenix this morning. They kept an eye on it until @PhoenixHerp arrived and successfully retrieved it from its hiding spot in the storm drain.
