CHECK OUT THE LATEST EFFORT BY CHIEF ALBER AIMED AT HELPING VETERANS GET ACCREDITED JOB TRAINING!!!
Our blog community has been a fan of Chief Alber's work for more than a minute now and on a day when the football Chiefs performed so poorly, this is an opportunity to celebrate the far more important winning ways of another local Chief. Checkit:
Did you know that the Garden City Police Department is a VA Approved Training Provider?
Late in 2014, Chief Thomas R. Alber developed a training program to encourage veterans who are returning to the civilian workforce to apply to the Garden City Police Department. Chief Alber who retired from the military after serving more than 20 years saw an increasing number of veterans returning to the civilian workforce with skills and leadership experience, but struggled to gain employment after their service to our country.
Early in 2015, the Garden City Police Department was approved as a VA Approved Training Provider which means an officer is eligible to use their GI Bill benefits for “On the Job” training while employed at the Garden City Police Department. On-the-job training (OJT) program is available for Veterans using their VA education benefits, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill. These programs allow Veterans to learn a trade or skill through training on the job rather than attending formal classroom instruction. A Veteran generally enters into a training contract for a specific period with an employer and at the end of the training period, the Veteran gains job certification or journeyman status. Veterans in an approved program can use their GI Bill benefit and receive a tax-free stipend.

I'm impressed....that they finally made it into the 90's. Kansas City was doing the same thing in the late 90's.

ReplyDeleteAbsolute lie. The only training KC has for veterans is in the soup kitchen. At least in Garden City they're concerned about jobs. KC only wants jobs for lawyers.
Train 'em to shoot niggers on sight, Chief Wahoo. That'll help.
ReplyDeleteOur KCPD Chief should take some lessons.
ReplyDeleteGlad our veterans can return from war to be cops and prison guards. To bad we dont have firing squads for VA approved training
ReplyDeleteFuck Marv Albers
ReplyDeleteWrong guy. And, no thanks....heard he's a back-biting....uh, creep.
DeleteWarriors disciplined and trained, battle tested especially, are perfect fits in emergency and protective and investigation services. Medics to EMTs, MPs to civil service, or hundreds of MOS attributes can readily transfer to many careers. KCK implemented the metro's first HazMat response operation over 35 years ago thanks to both an Air Force vet and Navy vet caring about their people and properties in Fairfax where industrial fires/explosions posed major catastrophic possibilities.
ReplyDeleteOops, not only the cars, fiberglass, railyards, biscuits, mattresses, etc. of N.E. KCK got protection -- the S.E. (Armourdale, Argentine Rosedale and James Street had plenty to safeguard -- industrial/warehouse/rail/truck sites.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute here. So you have a municipality that found an angle to milk a veteran's GI bill by having him work free for the city while loosing his educational benefits and you think that is a great program? That is a fucking con job. Most government agencies pay their police officers plus provide monetary grants and incentives for them to attend real educational classes at a college. WTF?
ReplyDeleteOfficers collect their regular salry and collect their GI Bill benefits. The GI Bill benefits are paid through direct deposit directly to the service member
ReplyDeleteI am connected to a ton of recent and about to be recent ex army criminal investigators, MP investigators, MP's, Protective Services Agents and PSI's. Where can I go to connect with information that might get some of these guys into the program?
