COLD WATER TRAINING

 Members of the state police dive teams from Maine and Connecticut recently participated in cold water training at Moosehead Lake. The teams spent last week in Greenville and members of the Rhode Island State Police dive team will join the training exercise this week. The diving conditions have been in 32 degree water, about 100 yards from the shore off West Cove in Greenville Junction.
