SUMMARY: A new class of recruits has started at the Hattiesburg Police Academy, with 19 recruits preparing to go through an extensive 17-week training program. The director of training, Lieutenant Stefon Richardson, says that the recruits will face many physical and mental challenges, but if they stick with it, they will be glad they did. The goal is to have more officers on the street actively engaged with the public and fighting crime. The recruits are considered special, as they make up the largest class in recent years. The training is tough, but the rewards at the end will be great if they persevere.
