What one person can do another can with proper training, guidance and motivation, they should be able to do any job that Ford does.” The Ford Fleet training is very important, “from an economical perspective, we don’t have to pay the dealership. From a safety point of view, it is our people, maintaining our cars. In my heart I know our guys are going to put their hearts and souls into our vehicles to ensure the cars are maintained to the highest quality.” said VIPD Commissioner Ray Martinez. Mr. Courtney Woods, Acting Supervisor of Motor Pool and Operations for the St. Croix District expressed his gratitude for the Commissioner signing off on the training. “Everything that we learned in the training was everything that we needed to know on how we should approach repairs the correct way.” The technicians were all successful in completing the course and for that, they are congratulated for their accomplishment.
