on activities. Students' personal

enforcement in the criminal jus-
tice system will be enhanced, as
well as their understanding of the

handle the challenges of police

“Academy participants will
gain insight into the difficult chal-
lenges law enforcement person-
nel face on a daily basis through
interesting and informative
instruction,” said Canton Public
SafetyDirector ToddMutchler.
The overall mission of the

between citizens and police offi-
cers, enhancing cooperation,
understanding, and general good
will.

transparency in police work, and
believe in the age-old concept of
the police are the public and the
public are the police,” said
Mutchler.

offered the first Citizens Police
Academy in over 30 years and it
was extremely well received by
participants,” said Mutchler. “We
appreciate the public's interest in
our agency and look forward to
the opportunity of providing this
worthwhile, educational program
to the citizens of our community.”

Officials in Canton Township have
issued a statement assuring all residents
that the drinkingwater in the community is
safe and that they “take the safety of our
water supply systemvery seriously.”
In a prepared statement, the officials
said that each year, Canton issues a
Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) that
gives a detailed analysis about where the
water in Canton comes from and the treat-
ment process the water goes through. The
report also provides consumers with
detailed information about the quality of
their drinking water. The 2014 report as
well as all reports dating back to 2003 can
be found at
Works.
“Canton's water is tested for lead every
three years, the last tests were taken in
2014 and showed no detection of lead,” the
statement continued. “While it is not
uncommon for many older communities to
use lead piping for water services, Canton's
infrastructure does not contain any lead
services,” the prepared release stated.
The 2015 Consumer Confidence Report
will be posted to the township website in
June. Questions can be referred to the
Canton Division of Public Works at (734)
397-1011.

bery and one count of robbery, armed which

tion on the charges forFeb. 19.

ed surveillance camera video to police to aid in the investigation. The robber can

ing cash and a vehicle. The teller refused to comply, and the suspect exited the
