(Riverton, WY) – Our Riverton Police Department spotlight series continues with one of the department’s newest officers, Taylor Murphy.
Officer Murphy discusses his first few days on the job, field training and what his time was like at the Wyoming Police Academy. “It’s a lot of fun, we do a lot of different things,” he shared about his 14 week long training. “We do active shooter week, DUI week, the instructors there are great. You meet police officers from all over the state who have the same goals, ethics and morals that you do. It’s nice to make those friendships.”
Many community members and current RPD staff were already familiar with Taylor. His dad, Eric is the former Riverton Police Chief. “I knew most of the officers here at Riverton PD, which was nice and helpful.”
The full conversation with Taylor can be heard in the player below or by finding the County 10 Podcast virtually anywhere you listen to podcasts!
