Kristen Christen, Mike Christen, Traci Graves, Darlene Kennison, and Lee Stock were awarded plaques on July 31, 2018, in recognition of completing the Belleville/New Glarus Police Citizens Academy. The goal of the program is to increase understanding among area residents and law enforcement.
The nine-week Academy included instruction on aspects of law, use of force, and drug use trends; a visit to the Dane County 911 Center and Jail; hands-on experience driving emergency vehicles, firing various weapons, field sobriety testing, and crime scene investigation methods; and a demonstration by the Green County K-9 unit. Persons interested in attending future academies are invited to contact the Belleville or New Glarus Police Department.
