It's a wrap! Thank you to the participants of this year's Community Police Academy! Over the course of seven weeks, they spent time with Hillsborough police officers and staff to learn about what they do, including dusting for fingerprints, participating in mock traffic stops and learning about mental health. The fun is not over. Some participants will continue on with scheduled ride-alongs in patrol vehicles. Interested in joining the Hillsborough Police Department for a future program? Look for information on the town website early next year.
