Police expo coming to tribal college

Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College will host the 2024 Peace Officer and Criminal Justice Expo from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 17 in the Lester Jack Briggs Cultural Center. The event is free and open to the public, and lunch will be provided.

The expo is designed to provide information about the wide range of career opportunities in the criminal justice field. More than 45 prospective employers representing police, sheriff, conservation officers and the state patrol will be in attendance to recruit prospective employees and provide information about their agencies and career

opportunities.

“Today, there is an unprecedented staffing shortage of professionally trained peace officers in cities, counties and in state agencies here in Minnesota and throughout the United States. The demand for highly trained and skilled applicants is at a peak,” said Mike Tusken, the college’s law enforcement program

coordinator.
