 Good morning, everyone. It's Benicia, your community outreach specialist for the PASCO Sheriff's Office. I just want to come on here very briefly, give you an intro, let you know that today you are going to be seeing a DIRT training. That's D-E-R-T, our deployable emergency response team, and they are doing a simulated training today. So what our DIRT team does, they're able to provide aid in emergency situations in which typical traditional resources wouldn't be beneficial or effective. So, we're going to be heading out in a convoy very soon, but aside from like a PIO perspective, in our office we sent out what's called a media alert to all of the media stations in our region to let them know, hey, this is a simulated training going on, so if you get any tips about, oh, something's going down in PASCO, there's nothing going down, because it is kind of odd to see all of these specialty vehicles driving through town because we are going from Land-O-Lays to Dade City. So it is a pretty lengthy drive, it may take us about an hour to get exactly where we're going, but just to kind of ease the worry and stresses for the media, the tips that they get in, and the civilians as well. So stay tuned, let's see what we can get into. Later on in the day, our Emergency Management Director, Shannon Russell, who you guys should all know because I've done, I think a couple of videos with her, like a year and a half ago, she will be talking to the media and explaining what the DIRT team does and why they're needed and about each of the vehicles that we have out today. So I will also get a clip of that, I'm hoping that I can get in the right spot. Let's just stay tuned to what we can get into. This is our Deployable Emergency Response Team, belongs to the Sheriff's Office. It consists of the equipment that you see here, several high-water vehicles, the five-ton vehicles and Humvees and a mobile kitchen and a mobile command bus that you see behind me. All of these are assets that the Sheriff uses to set up a command post on scene somewhere. We've used the command bus even just last week in support of the Amber Alert. We've deployed most of this equipment to areas such as the Panhandle Post Hurricane Michael. We've also used some of these vehicles, like the five tons, to deliver supplies or help rescue people, even within Pasco County in some of our low-lying areas and have a tendency to flood after heavy weather. We also have a mobile kitchen that we can take with us to prepare our own food, especially if we're going into a devastated area. That way we're not a burden to the local community and we can provide for ourselves. The idea is that we come as a self-sustaining force to support the community wherever they need us. A lot of this equipment is in purchase through a program with the Defense Logistics Agency. It's an opportunity for local law enforcement to purchase equipment from the Department of Defense at a very reduced cost so that we have access to some of our heavier equipment. We also have some equipment that's been used on SWAT call-outs. Our Special Weapons Tactics team have used those for the safety of our personnel as well. Training today is an effort to make sure that all of the equipment works, that it's ready to deploy in case we need it, to make sure that everybody on the team knows how to use it, to make sure that we're ready, especially in advance of hurricane season. I know it's only February, but hurricane season will be here very quickly and we want to make sure that we're ready to go. The team trains monthly to make sure that all the equipment is up and running and to work together as a team. This team is a force of 20. It's divided into two teams and they are on call for one month at a time and they switch back in for us. So even months and odd months, either our black team or our gold team, each team is made up of 10 people. Not only is the team set up to work within Pasco County, but also for all of our mutual aid organizations and the relationships that we have with other counties throughout the state of the Florida Sheriff's Association and any other agencies that may need our support. Any part of Florida, anywhere that it's been requested, those requests will come through the state emergency operation center. If they were to need support and they would call us and be able to respond. Absolutely. And we have. Okay everyone, so I hope you enjoyed what you got to see of the dirt training today. I hope what Emergency Management Director Russell explained kind of made it clear for you guys. So the thing is that we want to be as self-sufficient as possible as to not impose on the community, no matter where we go to provide aid and help in emergency situations. So I think it's absolutely incredible. So do not forget to like, comment, subscribe and I will see you guys next time. Oh that should be because you're emergency response. I'm sorry. How excited are you right now? I'm so excited. Stanger you too? Oh yeah. Yeah.
