EMPHASIS:
Troop I To Conduct Community Alliance Program
Captain James W. Remillard, commanding officer of Troop I, announces that the Patrol will be conducting a Community Alliance Program on six consecutive Tuesdays beginning September 5, 2017, and concluding October 10, 2017. The mission of the Community Alliance Program is to provide personal interaction between community citizens 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 20 responsible citizens, community leaders, professionals, and business associates who are willing to commit to a program that provides a unique opportunity unlike any other program offered by the Patrol.
Classes will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each of the six Tuesday evenings at Troop I Headquarters in Rolla. 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 techniques similar to those experienced by troopers attending the Missouri State Highway Patrol Academy in Jefferson City. Several evenings will include activities and role-playing exercises that provide participants practical experience. At the conclusion of the five-week program each participant will receive a plaque acknowledging their accomplishment.
The Patrol is accepting applications for the Community Alliance Program through August 29, 2017. There is no cost to participate in the program. Selection of the participants will be based upon an evaluation of an application form and a criminal record check. Application forms are available at Troop I Headquarters in Rolla, or by calling Sergeant Cody H. Fulkerson at (573) 368-2345 Ext. 3953
The only 100 percent survivable traffic 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.”
