Pro-Act Unit

It was one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken and it is available for the public again. I am referring to the Quincy Police Department’s 2015 Spring Citizen’s Police Academy. I graduated from the class in May of 2003. It was the quickest 10 weeks of my life and each week when the class would end I did not want to leave.

Knowledge of what the Quincy Department does on a daily basis is important. It is much more than writing up parking tickets, directing traffic and riding in the police car. These men and women put their life on the line everyday for us. But why do they do things the way they do?

The Quincy Police Department has scheduled a neighborhood meeting in the city for this Tuesday night.  The meeting is open to all residents of the city but is primarily for residents living in the area of 12th to 24th streets from Broadway to State streets. The meeting will be held at the Chapel at Chaddock School located at 205 South 24th Street on Tuesday night at 7pm.

It is hard for me to even fathom having a missing child or grandchild. Unfortunately, there are thousands of children every year who become missing. With that in mind,  National Missing Children’s Day is recognized nationally each year and will be held this Saturday, May 25.

If you have ever been fascinated with police work then you need to sign up for the next Citizen Police Academy Class held by the Quincy Police Department.  As a graduate of a previous class, I can tell you it will be the fastest 10 weeks of your life.
