Once they have completed this program, these officers will be assigned to the SPD's Uniform Operations Bureau. The community is encouraged to attend the ceremony and welcome these new additions to the Springfield Police Department as they embark on their new roles. Congratulations to Rick Crawshaw, Regan Gustafson, and Amy Zimmerman on their successful completion of the lateral academy program.
