Missouri S&T University Police partnered with the International Students Club, John’s Firestone and other local law enforcement agencies to hold a session on emergency vehicle repair Wednesday night in the S&T parking lot at 10th and Main streets, across from Castleman Hall. International students learned basic emergency vehicle repair and maintenance, including how to change a tire and jumpstart a vehicle, and met local law enforcement officers from University Police, the Rolla Police Department and the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department.

During the informal discussion with law enforcement officers, students learned about what paperwork should be in their vehicle (proof of insurance, registration and driver’s license) and learned about the process of a traffic stop. Officers then worked with individual students to simulate a traffic stop while also showing students what the stop looks like from an officer’s perspective.

Following the event, students and officers gathered for dinner at Alex’s Pizza.
