hearing is of 21police officer with arrest power, municipal police of the Autonomous Municipality of Juncos.

Stratford Police Department has created and implemented a community policing program over the past ten years. The program is a hybrid of the Police Activities League (PAL) and a Stratford-innovated program, the Police Engagement Program(r) (PEP). PAL hosts year-long programs with K-12 students, ranging from social activities, sports programs and has three separate curricula in the schools, which were approved by the Stratford Board of Education. The Stratford PD also intervenes to provide support when social services are unavailable.

Funding assistance to obtain an adequate number of licenses for the Police2Peace program to cover the entire agency including all sworn, and civilian staff as well as the municipalities elected officials and administrative staff. The breakdown of the licenses needed for those categories is as follows:

Sworn officers: 80
Police leaders: 12
Police Associates/Representatives: 15
Elected officials: 15

Total licenses: 122

I am requesting TTA assistance in acquiring training that moves us towards a peace officer organization through the police2peace movement.

Additionally, I am requesting TTA assistance in acquiring training through the Police Executive Research Forum Senior Management Institute for Policing.
