Police Donate Cruiser

Port Huron Police have donated a patrol cruiser to kick off a new public safety program at the St. Clair County Technical Education Center. Starting this fall at Woodrow Wilson Elementary near the city’s Central Fire Station, the program will give high school juniors and seniors hands-on experience in law enforcement, firefighting, emergency response, and dispatch. The cruiser will serve as a “classroom on wheels,” teaching students vehicle inspection, communication systems, and law enforcement technology as they prepare for future public safety careers.
