Clarkston GA The DeKalb Technical College police department is getting a new set of wheels from the city of Clarkston. New may not be correct word, because the 2003 Mercury Sable has more than 90,000 miles on it, but it is new to the DeKalb Tech police car fleet. It is because DeKalb Tech recently launched its Law Enforcement Academy that Clarkston city officials thought a donation of a police car would be appropriate. Because they just got started, we wanted to provide equipment they could use in their department as well as at the academy, according to Chief Tony Scipio from the Clarkston Police Department.
The olive green unmarked patrol car is equipped with police lights and other equipment and has already been put into service according to Chief Mike Blouin from the DeKalb Tech police department. Weve already used the car at the police academy and weve already used for daily service calls for the police agency here at DeKalb Tech, says Blouin. At a ceremonial presentation at DeKalb Tech, both Blouin and Executive Vice President of DeKalb Tech, Larry Teems expressed deep appreciation to the city of Clarkston and its police department for the generous donation. We appreciate county government, especially the city of Clarkston donating materials like this and helping the college especially in these tough economic times when our budgets have been cut and we have needs in many different areas, says Teems.
DeKalb Technical College, a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia, promotes a student-centered environment for lifelong learning and development, encompassing academic and technical education for employment in a global community. The college has 8 centers of learning in DeKalb, Newton, Rockdale, and Morgan counties. Established in 1961, DeKalb Technical College currently has more than 4,000 students enrolled in diploma or degree programs and more than 9,000 in adult education classes. Academic and Technical programs at DeKalb Tech cover more than 100 different occupations. For more information visit our website at www.dekalbtech.edu.
