Pass the Perspective with the Danville Police Department

The Danville Police Department is hosting Pass the Perspective on November 8, 2022, at 5 p.m. This program is designed for our middle school youth to gain the inside perspective on police work as well as openly share their thoughts on police officers and ways we can better serve the community and our youth. Also, the students will be able to participate in MILO (an interactive video training system) to go through the actual process our police officers utilize during their training. See the flyer below for more information.
