Nearly 30 local high school juniors and seniors in the
Criminal Justice class at the Clare-Gladwin Career Center recently toured the
Michigan State Police (MSP) Training Academy in Lansing. Tour stops included
the academy's fitness center, firing range, driving track, K-9 kennels, and the
water "tank" in which rescue trainings are conducted. Sgt. Marc Shore
also spent time with the students answering questions as well as discussing the
MSP hiring process and what to expect as a trooper.
"I think
some of the students’ eyes were opened as to what would be required of them if
they wanted to pursue a job with the MSP,” said Criminal Justice Instructor DJ
Newman. “I feel that it is very important to show them as many different types
of careers in the field as I can. Some of the kids are strongly considering becoming
a Michigan State Police Trooper. The experience gained today will
hopefully push them in or out of that."
Criminal
Justice is one of nine career and technical education (CTE) offerings of the
Clare-Gladwin Career Center, a program of Clare-Gladwin RESD. High School
juniors and seniors from Clare and Gladwin counties spend half of their school
day in their CTE program and the other half at their local high school.
