EMPHASIS:
Troop F To Host Community Alliance
Captain Michael A. Turner, commanding officer Troop F, Jefferson City, announces the Missouri State Highway Patrol will be conducting a Community Alliance Program beginning Thursday, September 14, 2017, and concluding with an awards banquet on Thursday, October 19, 2017. The mission of the Community Alliance Program is to provide personal interaction between area citizens and the Patrol. The program is designed to allow the public to learn more about the Patrol's purpose and role within the law enforcement community. The Highway Patrol is seeking responsible citizens, community leaders, students, and professional/business associates who are willing to commit to a program that provides a unique opportunity.
The classes will meet from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on six consecutive Thursday evenings at the Troop F Headquarters, 2920 North Shamrock Road, Jefferson City, Missouri. Successful completion of the program will require attendance at each Thursday 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 the Patrol's Law Enforcement Academy in Jefferson City. These sessions will cover traffic stops, firearms familiarization, marine operations, and many other aspects of the Patrol. Some evenings will include activities and role-playing exercises that provide participants practical experience. Upon completion of the final session, a distinctive award will be presented to each successful participant
The Patrol is accepting applications for the Community Alliance Program through September 1, 2017. This program is a semi-annual event, and there is no cost to the participants. Selection of the participants will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will be made following an evaluation of an application form and a criminal record check. Application forms are available at Troop F Headquarters, 2920 North Shamrock Road, Jefferson City, Missouri, or by calling Sergeant Scott White at 573-751-1000, extension 3619.
