Wayland Patch 4/15/11: Wayland’s Newest Officer Reports for Duty. On Thursday, new Wayland Police Officer Mark Hebert reported for his first official day on the job. He’s glad to be there – brightly reflective traffic vest and all – but achieving the landmark of his first day in uniform didn’t come at an easy price: It cost him 800 hours of training over the course of 21 weeks at the Plymouth Police Academy. And right in the middle of all that training, his second son was born and Massachusetts had one of the worst winters on record – neither easy to handle with a one-hour commute each way to classes.
