Citizen's Academy Class Allows Residents to Taste Police Life

Muskego resident who have always wanted to yell, "Stop! Police!" and then take down criminal suspects will get their chance.

More accurately, residents can shout and participate in simulated police exercises when the Muskego Police Department hosts its next Citizen's Academy beginning on March 2, 2011.

The academy is a ten week program during which residents will learn how to conduct traffic stops, criminal investigations and learn about patrol procedures. Participants will also be able to drive and operate a police car on a closed track, role-play for shoot/don't shoot situations, and even experience live-fire exercises.

Anyone interested should contact Officer Gary Mrotek at 262-679-4130, or visit our website. Available spaces are filling fast.
