“This is something that the Village of Jackson Police Department has been planning for several years, and we are excited to see it come to fruition now that we have the space for it in the new Jackson Municipal Complex,” said Chief Vossekuil.
Officer Jennifer Gerke has put together a quality behind-the-scenes, hands-on experience that is designed to educate, inform and strengthen our relationship with those they serve.
“This program was designed for any citizen to attend and learn more about law enforcement and the Jackson Police Department. I invite those that live, work, or attend school in Jackson to apply (18 or older, certain restrictions apply),” said Vossekuil.
