National Police Week 2023
May 14th - 20th
Burpees for Bucci
On May 11, 2023 Trooper Tamar Bucci’s MSP classmates traveled by bus from Massachusetts to Washington, DC for National Police Week. They stopped in all eight states along the way to perform acts of kindness and do burpees. This was a very special way to remember and honor Tamar – by incorporating her passion for fitness with her drive to help when and where she could.
