EMPHASIS:
Troop G To Conduct Ninth Community Alliance Program
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Troop G, Willow Springs, Missouri, announces the Patrol will be conducting a Community Alliance Program beginning Tuesday, September 18, 2018, and concluding with an awards ceremony on Tuesday, October 2, 2018. The mission of the Community Alliance Program is to provide personal interaction between the community and the Patrol. The program is designed for those possessing a strong interest in learning about the Patrol’s purpose and role within the law enforcement community. The Highway Patrol is seeking up to 20 responsible citizens, community leaders, and professional and business associates who are willing to commit to a program that provides a unique opportunity.
Classes will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on each of three consecutive Tuesday evenings, in the meeting room at Troop G Headquarters in Willow Springs. Successful completion of the program will require attendance at each Tuesday evening session. (One absence will be allowed with prior approval from the program coordinator.) The curriculum will familiarize participants with many Patrol policies and procedures utilizing teaching techniques similar to those experienced by troopers attending the Missouri State Highway Patrol Academy in Jefferson City. Some activities will include role-playing, including the MILO training system. MILO is a scenario based, interactive use-of-force training system which employs a high-tech use-of-force simulator. The program will conclude with an awards ceremony at which time awards will be presented to participants who successfully complete the program.
The Patrol is accepting applications for the Community Alliance Program through September 14, 2018. There is no cost to participate in the program. Selection of up to 20 participants will be based upon an evaluation of an application form and a criminal record check. Application forms are available by calling Troop G Headquarters at (417) 469-3121.
Tentative Program Curriculum:
September 18 -- History of the Patrol, Tools of the Trade, Traffic Enforcement
September 25 -- Firearms/Range, MILO
October 2 -- Aircraft, SWAT, Awards Ceremony
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 The Trust.”
