The class is instructed by Rumpke Safety Director Larry Stone and Rumpke Corporate Loss Control Manager Dan Katt. Stone worked 13 years as a police officer and 17 years as a firefighter. Katt spent 27 years with the Cincinnati Police Department, including 10 years investigating serious and fatal accidents in the traffic bureau.
