Three Salina police officers have graduated from the 14-week Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center today.

According to Captain Mike Sweeney, officers Jessica Cook, Joseph Barton, and Jesse Christmas will continue their training Monday at the Salina Police Department.

Sweeney indicated that the officers will have a two-week Post Academy at the Salina Police Department and then will move to the 16-week Field Training program. During this time, the officers will be partnered with Field Training Officers who will teach them the fundamentals of policing and allow them to gather hands-on experience before being released on their own, he noted.
