Close Vermont Police Academy to cut 1976 budget
Vermont Administration Secretary Robert M. Wilson proposed closing the three year old Vermont State Police Academy at the former sanitorium and shifting training to Norwich University or Vermont Technical College in Randolph. The plan drew protests from Lt. John A. Poljacik who calls the Rutland academy the best site for extensive training. The facility employs about 20 people and is used by the Vermont National Guard and other state departments. In Rutland, Dr. John R. Froines said the controversy over his appointment raised awareness of occupational health and preventive measures, adding Vermont is in good shape on industrial safety.
