    a half dozen participants were so drunk that they couldn’t even participate in the training scenarios.

    as for the chief of police;

    "No one will ever look at Chief Eynon the same. He did not represent the city of North Ogden in a professional manner.’

    he was reinstated the following month.

      Actually probably the best training those cops could ever get. People do dumb shit when drunk and are very unprofessional.

      Also why was there no one TIPS certificated administering the drinks. I had to have a TIPS certificated bar tender certificated at my wedding because it was required by the venue

        it was probably being done at at the police station or a training facility owned by the police.

        there probably wasn’t a bartender or barback or anyone even remotely close to TIPS certified. the volunteers (which usually aren’t actually aren’t the one’s being trained… For, uh. obvious reasons.) basically crack a bottle of whatever and get drunk so the class can see how it affects them. They’re not supposed to do a fireball challenge, but, eh… when you’re a small-town police department…

            Honest answer? It’s how you get a bunch of dumbasses to kill themselves via alcohol intoxication.

            Basically, you get the biggest bottle of fireball cinnamon whisky you can find/afford and drink it as quickly as you can.
