MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 7882
BY: THE PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE, HENRY W, HOOT, CHAIRMAN
RE: OAKLAND COUNTY POLICE ACADEMY
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR: CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, in September 1965 the Oakland County Board of Commissioners appointed
a group known as the "Committee to Study Law Enforcement Problems in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, this 'Committee to Study Law Enforcement Problems" found, after con-
siderable study, there was a definite need for additional law enforcement training in Oakland
County; and
WHEREAS, in August, 1966 the "Committee to Study Law Enforcement Problems"
approached Oakland Community College to obtain support in establishing a police training
center in Oakland County: and
WHEREAS, Oakland Community College did in fact cooperate with Oakland County
and establish a police training center in 1967; and
WHEREAS, Oakland Community College has cooperated with 1cw enforcement agencies
within Oakland County for the past ten years by offering meaningful basic, specialized and
supervisory training courses, at a reasonable cost to those agencies; and
WHEREAS, these courses have been given to approximately 3,600 Oakland County low
enforcement officers; and
WHEREAS, Oakland Community College lacks adequate facilities to present all phases
of this training, thereby resulting in considerable loss of valuable training time which must be
used in traveling to various cities within the County to obtain the use of these facilities; and
WHEREAS„ it has been necessary to occasionally move the training center to classroom
facilities which ore available, thereby nullifying attempts to establish a permanent location for
said training center; and
WHEREAS, funds are not available within the College budget to provide both training
and a permanent facility that will meet these needs
