IN 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 considerable
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 law 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 law enforce-
ment 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 are 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.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby directs
Oakland County Administration to engage in serious and meaningful discussions thereby exerting a
diligent effort to reach a mutually acceptable solution to this problem with the officials of
Oakland Community College.
