Springfield Police Department to hold Lateral Police Academy graduation ceremony

(From the Springfield Police Department)

The Springfield Police Department’s 15th Lateral Police Academy will be honored with a graduation ceremony at 5 p.m. Friday, June 1, at the Springfield Regional Police and Fire Training Center, 2620 W. Battlefield.

Graduates include:
Ronnie Rust, formerly of the St. Louis Metro Police Department (MO)
Dustin Sweet, formerly of the New Braunfels Police Department (TX)
Ben Wilson, formerly of the Ozark Police Department (MO)

These three officers have received seven weeks (280 hours) of training to acclimate them to Springfield and the Springfield Police Department. Upon graduation, they will be assigned to an experienced field-training officer (FTO) for six weeks of on-the-job training. Once they complete the FTO program, these officers will be assigned to the SPD’s Uniform Operations Bureau.

The community is invited to help welcome these three officers to the Springfield Police Department and congratulate them on their lateral academy graduation.
