Specialized Training
The
police department strives to maintain current training for their officers
and supervisors. Some training is mandated by the Minnesota Peace Officers
Standards and Training (POST) Board, but most training comes from the
request of officers and supervisors that want to better themselves and
the way they can serve the public.
Below is a list of just some of the
specialty training that our departmental staff are trained in.
