Sunman council approves up to $500 for online police training
Summary
The council approved payment for online law-enforcement training at about $100 per person for current reserve officers, with an estimated maximum cost of $500 to cover up to five participants.
The council approved purchase of online police training modules, with the Marshall requesting up to $100 per person for unlimited online training and the council authorizing payment for the current complement of officers.
"It's approximately a $100 per person," the Marshall said when describing the online training package, adding that he has paid for similar training personally in the past. Council members discussed the likely number of participants (three to five) and recorded a motion and second to approve the expense, with the Marshall estimating a maximum expense of about $500.
The training will allow officers to complete many online modules that may count toward Indiana Law Enforcement Academy requirements for certain topics; the Marshall noted that some courses qualify for academy credit and some are general law-enforcement training. The council did not record individual vote tallies in the transcript, but the motion was seconded and accepted during the meeting.
