Our crew regularly get tasked to long and challenging incidents, some of which can be challenging for our crew to handle. It is always nice when we receive positive comments like these from our partner agencies, showing the hard work has not gone un-noticed.

The thoughts of the entire Sharpness crew go out to Kondwani’s family and friends at this tragic time.
