The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office welcomed law enforcement professionals from across the state of Kansas for its annual spring training seminar this week.
More than 200 law enforcement officers and professionals from more than 30 different agencies attended the three-day seminar which covered several areas of the profession including case reviews, investigation techniques and more. Lyon County Detective Eric Williams organized the seminar which he says is geared towards “smaller departments.”
He adds that regular seminars such as this are extremely important as the world of law enforcement, contrary to popular belief, is always evolving.
Lyon County Sheriff Jeff Cope, a near 30-year veteran in law enforcement, says regardless of how long one may have served in the profession, there is always something new to be learned.
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.
