Westland Police Department Hires New Officer
Westland, MI -On Monday, February 3, 2014 the Westland Police Department swore in Eric Monson as their newest police officer at the Westland City Council Meeting. 
 

Monson was hired as a Police Service Aide by the Westland Police Department in January of 2013, which allowed the department to train and evaluate Monson prior to offering him a career opportunity as a police officer. Monson is currently completing the Westland Police In-Service training week and will begin the police field training program next week.

 

Monson graduated from the Washtenaw Police Academy, where he earned his Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) certification. Monson also has a degree in Criminal Justice from Washtenaw Community College.

 

"The Westland Police Department prides itself on a tradition of hard work and professionalism. I am confident that Mr. Monson will be an exceptional police officer and serve our Westland community well," said Chief Jeff Jedrusik.
