The completion of the 36th Basic Animal Control Academy at Crater Criminal Justice Training Academy marks a significant milestone for our newest group of animal control officers. These officers have successfully undertaken three weeks of comprehensive training. We offer our congratulations to Officers Lexie Comer, Melanie Orzechowski, Chelsea Nelson, and Ryan Moore on their graduation. Their hard work and determination have paid off, and we are proud of their achievements. Pictured with the graduates are Head ACO Alvin Langley (far left) and Chief of Fire, EMS & Emergency Management David Kissner (far right). Officers Moore and Orzechowski distinguished themselves academically, securing second and third place, respectively.

Congratulations on a job well done. Be sure to say Hi when you see our new officers on duty.
