MANSFIELD – 15 cadets from the Mansfield University Act 120 Municipal
Police Academy provided a day of community service this past Saturday at the
Mill Cove Environmental Area in Mansfield.
The cadets painted picnic tables, cleaned pavilions, moved
brush piles, and assembled range targets. Mill Cove is a recreational and
environmental area along Mill Creek, just north of Mansfield University.
“Our cadets understand that community service is an integral
part of policing” said Mark Thompson, training coordinator for the Mansfield
University Public Safety Training Institute. “They happily volunteered their
time to better their community.”
The Mansfield University Act 120 Municipal Police Academy is
a 919-hour training program required to become a municipal police officer in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The academy is part of the MU Public Safety
Training Institute (MUPSTI), a regional training center providing initial and
continuing professional education for criminal justice practitioners, first
responders, public safety professionals, and the public.
