Roger Kendall and Carlton Adams
In our recent report on the annual ExPo BBQ held at the Police Club we featured a photo of two of our ExPo members, Carlton Adams and Roger Kendall, who received special congratulations from our ExPo President Cal Smith for what must be a unique coincidence!
As Cal pointed out, Roger Kendall’s grandson, Tyler Jordon Kendall, who recently completed the latest Recruit Foundation Training Course, was awarded the Baton of Honor at his Course Passing out Parade at which 12 students graduated. Cal also pointed out that at the previous Recruit Foundation Course Passing Out Parade, the Baton of Honor was awarded to James Adams who is the son of our good friend and colleague retired ACOP Carlton Adams.
It would certainly appear that “apples don’t fall far from trees”!
We have since learned that young Tyler Kendall won not only the Baton of Honor but also the following awards:-
- The Instructor’s Cup for the fastest time of 49 minutes and 22 seconds in the male category over the International 10 kilometer or 6 miles, Flatts road running course.
- The All Round Athlete & Physical Fitness Award: (male category)
- Academic Award – with an overall test average of 94% over 12 exams.
- Commissioner’s Shield. as the leader of his course syndicate who won the award.
- Baton of Honor Recipient: as the most distinguished student officer as selected by the Training Centre staff.
Proud grandparents Roger and Lita Kendall with their grandson Tyler
Our hearty congratulations to both James Adams and Tyler Kendall and we wish you all the very best in your police careers. You have big shoes to fill!
