Residents will notice a large uptick in law enforcement soon, but not from local agencies alone.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting its annual spring training seminar, welcoming law enforcement representatives from around the state and country. Sheriff Jeff Cope, a guest of KVOE’s Morning Show on Friday, says the training will welcome a little more than 200 officers this year.
The training will run from Tuesday through Thursday and will focus on a variety of topics prevalent in the law enforcement field.
In addition to the techniques and information discussed throughout the annual seminar, Cope says having so many law enforcement professionals in town for a prolonged period provides a great economic boost to the Emporia community. The Sheriff’s Office holds its annual seminar every year in the second week of April.
