FAST ROPE DEMONSTRATION

Dring a press conference in conjunction with Spiedie Fest organizers, New York State Police in Troop “C” announced today that they will be hosting an interactive event on Saturday, August 5 at Spiedie Fest at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton.

Between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., numerous specialty units will be available to answer questions!
NYSP SORT (Special Operations Response Team) will also be conducting a Fast Rope Demonstration on August 5 at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. Fast roping is a technique where the NYSP Helicopter will hover over the area and a member of SORT will use a thick rope to descend from the helicopter without the aircraft actually touching down.
