Jackson Police Department Announces New Recruit Program
Police recruits Antoinette Lewis and Nikolas Rincon. JPD photo. (August 26, 2021 8:27 AM) The Jackson Police Department today announced a new program designed to overcome recruitment difficulties by removing barriers and making an investment in the training of recruits. This month, JPD is sending police recruits Antoinette Lewis and Nikolas Rincon to the Mid-Michigan Police Academy at Lansing Community College. Once they’ve completed training, the recruits will be offered the next available patrol officer openings with the department. JPD has previously sponsored members from both its cadet and reserve officer programs through police academy training. However, this is the first time JPD has specifically hired recruits to send directly to the police academy.

He says this may be due to a declining interest in law enforcement careers. “It is our hope that this new recruit program will help to provide yet another opportunity for us to fill our officer vacancies, and keep our department well-staffed in order to provide a level of service the community deserves,” Director Hitt said. “Our recruits have a lot of interest in…
