Graduates from Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center

 


Twenty-seven new law enforcement officers, who began their training in January, graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center on April 29 at a ceremony held in the KLETC Integrity Auditorium. Among them are Jewell County officers Brandon Keeker and Isaiah Tippin.

Graduates receive certificates of course completion from KLETC and Kansas law enforcement certification from the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, the state’s law enforcement licensing authority. The training course fulfills the state requirement for law enforcement training. Classroom lectures and hands-on applications help train officers to solve the increasingly complex problems they face in the line of duty.

Established by the Kansas Legislature in 1968, KLETC trains the majority of municipal, county and state law enforcement officers in Kansas and oversees the training of the remaining officers at seven authorized and certified academy programs operated by local law enforcement agencies and the Kansas Highway Patrol.

About 300 officers enroll annually in KLETC 14-week basic training programs. KLETC offers continuing education and specialized training to more than 10,000 Kansas officers each year. KLETC is located one mile west and one mile south of Yoder, near Hutchinson and is a division of the University of Kansas Lifelong & Professional Education.
