A few of the topics covered in the academy will be: penal code and other laws, domestic violence and child abuse, DWI, patrol tactics and techniques, pursuits, a shoot/don't shoot training session, and the Special Response Team.
Many more topics are covered during the class. Any interested person should contact the Stephenville Police Department Resource Officer, Wanda Pringle at 254-918-1200 or come by the Police Department Monday through Friday 8-5.
