Shielded

Members of the Wayne County Raccoon Hunters Association (WCRHA) recently
donated a ballistic shield to the Romulus Police Department. The shield adds a
factor of safety for officers engaged in a volatile situation such as an active shoot-

WCRHA board members, from left, Roy Neal, Paul Riddell from Armor Express
and Jason Pearson.
