Good morning, Chesapeake.
🏛️ Government
The Chesapeake Sheriff's Office held defensive training for 13 female deputies as part of its initiative to increase the number of female instructors and reach a goal of 30 percent representation by 2030—training that included real-life scenarios to boost confidence and skills.
Deputy Sheena Gregory, who has 10 years of experience, said the drills help new recruits defend themselves in a male-dominated field.
🏈 Sports
During March Madness, Virginia sports fans cannot bet on local teams including Norfolk State, Liberty, and VCU even though billions are wagered on the NCAA tournament.
Experts say the rise of online betting may lead to more gambling addiction—especially among young adults.
