IAWP First Vice President, the lead RCMP Staff Sergeant for the International Visitation Program, has done a tremendous job of putting me in touch with people to share their Olympic Security experiences. Do you recall Tammy Marshall, civilian RCMP Dispatcher, from one of the first IAWP at the Olympic blogs? Tammy is one of the people who has taken some time out her busy schedule to respond to emails and send me comments via Margaret.
Tammy's highlights of the Olympics: "It is exhausting but fun. My highlights are the dress rehearsal (tickets she received from a cousin) and working dispatch for the opening ceremonies. I was designated to the International Protected Persons dispatch for that."
Tammy is one of several RCMP staff that is staying on with the Paralympic Games which begin in March. I hope to have more from Tammy's perspective soon.
Enjoy day 17 events everyone. The closing of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games is near. I am sure that all the officers and staff who have helped make the games a success are looking forward to getting home but at the same time sad to have the experience end.
I will continue to have updates from the final days events as well experiences from the Paralympic Games. So please continue to check back.
