Central Divisions has implemented a cross-training program in which patrol officers will work in the detectives office with an assigned detective for a two week training period.  The officer will be required to participate in the day to day activities of the detective. Numerous officers have been identified for professional development. The improvement of reports and on scene investigations should be enhanced, especially with the fact that we have so many new officers who have brought in a new dynamic energy to the division coupled with room for improvement. This will help to guard the professional integrity of officers to prepare them for a long career.
