Twenty-two law enforcement officers, including a Hopkinsville officer, graduated from the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training this week.
The department reports the officers graduated Thursday. Royale Colette Marfil from the Hopkinsville Police Department graduated the class and earned the Coordinator’s Award.
The twenty week program consisted of eight-hundred hours of recruit-level instruction and was the 501st class to graduate. Major training areas include law offenses and procedures, vehicle operations, firearms, investigations, first aid, and CPR, patrol procedures, orientation for new law enforcement families and the mechanics of arrest, restraint and control.
The basic training course is mandatory for Kentucky law enforcement officers to comply with the state’s Peace Officer Professional Standards Act of 1998.
