Trooper Blair has been with the PSP for over 18 years at the Selinsgrove barracks. Recently he has taken the position of “Community Service & Public Awareness Leader” located in the Milton barracks. Camp Cadet offers a unique opportunity for children to learn about the PSP and also help the child with Self Esteem, Discipline and Motivation. Various speakers are welcomed to make presentations to the children. The children have a structured routine providing them with classes and physical activities.
