FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – Officers with the Florence Police Department put their driving skills to the test Wednesday.
The department is holding training sessions at Darlington Raceway.
Officers from other departments are there as well; about 250 are training. They’re working on driving skills and different training scenarios like chasing down criminals on highways.
