DeWitt County Sheriff's Department Adapting To Ever Changing World of Law Enforcement

Believe it or not, the world of Law Enforcement changes on a daily basis.

Because of this, DeWitt County Sheriff's Deputies have recently begun going through daily training exercises. DeWitt County Sheriff Jered Shofner believes in a field like law enforcement, if police officers aren't constantly learning the new laws and regulations, they'll fall behind quickly.

Because of the perpetual changes, Sheriff Shofner is having his Deputies take a quick three to five minute training session. After each training session, the Deputies must then answer a set of questions relating to what they just learned.

Sheriff Shofner says this new advancement in law enforcement will be highly beneficial to his staff and how they serve the community. He adds something as slight as a different way of wording a law can make all the difference in what a police officer can do.

Sheriff Shofner says sometimes the changes can be disheartening. He feels sometimes lawmakers can view the police a foe rather than a tool to maintain order in society.
