Troop G Graduates Community Alliance Participants
On November 1, 2016, Troop G completed the 2016 Community Alliance Program with a graduation dinner held at Troop G Headquarters in Willow Springs, MO.
The Community Alliance Program provides an opportunity for citizens to experience an inside look at the duties and responsibilities of the Patrol, as well as the techniques and tools-of-the-trade used to accomplish the tasks associated with policing. Participants attended classes at Troop G Headquarters for five consecutive Tuesday evenings in the months of October and November. Attendees were afforded an opportunity to learn from numerous experienced officers through the use of classroom instruction and practical exercises. Topics included firearms, vehicle stops, crash investigation, pursuits, history of the Patrol, aircraft operations, DWI detection, and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, among others.
Upon completion of the program, participants were presented with a plaque commemorating their participation in the program.

The only 100 percent survivable crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate Trust.”
