THE THANG:
Today we honored York Co. Detective Mike Doty, Badge No. 809, who’s End of Watch (EOW) was 7 years ago today, 1/17/2018.

Background:
York County deputies responded to a domestic violence call shortly after 10 p.m. on Jan. 15, 2018. Dispatchers were told the suspect, Christian Thomas McCall, was “actively assaulting” a woman at the home. By the time deputies arrived, McCall had left the home, sparking a massive manhunt.

Hours later, McCall fired multiple shots, striking a K-9 officer. Dozens of law enforcement units responded to the scene with McCall managing to evade police until 3:30 a.m. More shots were fired at that time. Doty and two other York County deputies were hit.

Doty died from his injuries at a Charlotte hospital on January 17. The other injured officers, https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/york-county-sergeant-returns-to-work-nearly-a-year-following-deadly-ambush-shooting/275-45f8eb8a-09b6-4069-b98a-5f4f3489c768, Sgt. Buddy Brown and York police officer Kyle Cummings, recovered.
Doty served York County for 12 years. He was an investigator with York County’s drug enforcement unit and the coordinator of its Law Enforcement Office Narcan program.

Pirateless

No Pirate…. No problem for todays Q as the rest of us figured it out in the fly.

I did a 10 minute warmup just make sure we didn’t have any stragglers then Change order took over the next piece.

We partnered up and one partner would run while the other partner did a AMRAP until they returned of the following exercises:

Merkins
Squats
LBC’s
Mountain climbers.

After 2 rounds we all got a turn calling exercises.

Then with 5-7 minutes left Change order led us in Broga.

Mumblechatter was great workout was good and couldn’t have asked for a better start to the day!

Everyone got through it all with just enough time to get back to COT.

Thanks to all who showed. It was great getting back out there. Don’t take it for granted men. Being able to get out there and work is invaluable to your mental health as much as it is to your physical health.

See y’all out there!
