Council OKs Central Vo-Tech academy for new Bristow officers; one scholarship reduces cost
Summary
The council approved allowing new Bristow police officers to attend Central Vo-Tech’s Basic Police Officer Academy, a 694-hour program (94 hours longer than CLEET); one officer received a scholarship so the city would pay for only one of two officers.
The Bristow City Council voted Sept. 23 to allow newly hired police officers to complete the Basic Police Officer Academy at Central Vo-Tech. Mayor Kris Wyatt said the Central Vo-Tech program offers 694 hours of training—"94 hours longer than the training at Cleet"—and that one officer had been awarded a scholarship, meaning the city would likely need to pay for only one of two officers.
Joe Church moved to authorize the training and Jeff Roberts seconded; the motion passed on a roll call vote with all listed members voting Aye. The council did not specify the salary or travel costs in the meeting record; the motion only authorizes attendance at the specified academy under the conditions described by the mayor.
