Congratulations Canton Township Police Sgt. Eric Kolke, center, successfully completed Police Staff & Command School at Michigan State University, a 400-hour program, designed to provide extensive training focused on management, planning, analysis and administration of police departments and personnel. The pro- grams are problem-based learning, fostering critical thinking and philosophies applicable in today's law enforcement com- munity, according to a spokesman. The unique experience takes the officers beyond traditional operational methods and exposes them to conceptual thinking, paving the way for their future success as a command officer. Police Staff & Command School is mandatory for all Canton command offi- cers and is a component of the ongoing training of Canton police officers. Kolke has been with the department for 20 years, and is currently assigned to the Patrol Division as a shift supervisor. Kolke is congratulated on his accomplishment by Public Safety Director Joshua Meier, left, and Deputy Police Chief Scott Hilden, right.

Special guest Michigan Department of Education Deputy Superintendent Kyle Guerrant stopped by Romulus High School earlier this school year to learn more about the newly-added Romulus Airport Virtual Academy (RAVA) and the early college partnership with Wayne County Community College (WCCC). Guerrant said state education department offi- cials are conducting statewide visits to allow school districts opportunities to highlight success stories. Central office staff from the high school were able to meet with Guerrant. "The visit provided us the chance to address hot button topics surrounding standardized testing. We also inquired on knowing how the Michigan Department of Education could help support our teachers," said Romulus Community Schools Curriculum Director Karensa Smith.
