From PENTA CAREER CENTER
Because of a donation from the Wood County Commissioners and the Wood County Sheriff’s Office, high school students in Penta Career Center’s criminal justice program now have a patrol vehicle for use in their daily training activities. The commissioners donated a 2017 Ford Explorer, which was previously part of the Wood County Sheriff’s Office fleet of vehicles. The vehicle has logged 172,732 miles and is equipped with lights, radio, and a radar unit.
The vehicle was officially donated to Penta on Thursday, during a brief presentation at Penta. Wood County Commissioners Doris Herringshaw and Craig LaHote attended the event along with Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn. Students and staff from Penta’s criminal justice program and Penta administrators were also in attendance.
The criminal justice program at Penta is designed for students who want to pursue employment in criminal justice, private or public safety, or pursue post-secondary education leading to employment in a law-related field.
