Our last meeting of the spring 2023 semester featured Chief Hollinger and Sergeant Jobst from the Rockton Police Department. They were able to discuss the benefits that Rockton and small-town policing, in general, provide and how policing has changed throughout the past few decades, including technology and the use of force. We are thankful for them and everyone that has come to speak with us throughout this academic year. We appreciate all the information, advice, encouragement, and so on that you have provided to all of us!

For our April 25th meeting, Special Agent Certified Fire Investigator (CFI) William Fulton, who works with the ATF, came and spoke to us. He was able to discuss his background, what the ATF does, and cases he has worked on or assisted with, including the firebombing of the City-County Building in Madison and the Chandler Halderson case. He was able to make the presentation very interactive as if we were the ones investigating the case based on the pictures that they had obtained from the incident. We would like to thank Special Agent William Fulton for traveling to Platteville and giving a very interactive presentation to our group!

Southwest Tech was generous enough to host our Criminal Justice Association last night and allow us to participate in a mini police academy. We were instructed in EVOC maneuvers, handguns, and rifles. We appreciate the time and effort that everyone at Southwest Tech put into organizing and running the event last night. It was super enjoyable being able to get hands-on experience with these skills!
