Dana Long Lavigne

I graduated from MA State Police Academy in 1988 and spent 10 years on the road patrolling. Too many heart-pounding stories to tell.
In 1995, I got married to a wonderful man (Wade) and when we decided to have children, I came off the road and started teaching for the State Police.
My current station assignment is at the State Police Academy in New Braintree, MA as a curriculum coordinator and take care of recruit graduations and a lot in between. It's a very busy job and an incredible experience.
I am a Firearms Instructor, Defensive Tactics Instructor and an Emergency Vehicle Operator Instructor (lots of fun racing cars around)
In 1995, I graduated from Western New England College with a BA in Criminal Justice.
I am also a Girl Scout leader of troops 190 and 116 at my daughter’s school and currently working on my Masters at the University of Massachusetts.

I enjoyed hanging out after the football games
I recall a night out with Bucky, Pat Burke and Chuck Morison when we took a ride down a back road where we could peek through the trees to see the drive-in movie. I'll never tell what we were watching ;)
I still think about all the wonderful women I played sports with and on occasion look at pictures.
I think about Carolyn Bell:(
