Burns Graduates from Law Enforcement Academy
Joel Burns of Ida Grove has graduated from the regional law
enforcement training academy of Western Iowa Tech Community College
(WITCC), Sioux City. He serves with the Sac County Sheriff's Office
and is a graduate of Iowa Western Community College.
The graduation ceremony was held at WITCC Nov.2. The event was
attended by advisory council members and local dignitaries as well as
family and friends of the graduating officers. The guest speaker was
Mark Prosser, public safety director for Storm Lake, Iowa.
Burns is a member of the 17th group of police officers to graduate
from WITCC's regional law enforcement training academy. The group
enrolled for classes on Sept. 2 for an eight-week training program.
In order to graduate, the students had to demonstrate competency in 48
different subjects.
Before the creation of the academy at WITCC, individuals
living in the western part of the state who wished to become police
officers had to be hired by an Iowa law enforcement agency and then
attend a 14-week structured Iowa Law Enforcement Academy training
program at Camp Dodge, in Johnston, Iowa, near Des Moines.
The establishment of the academy at WITCC enables area
officers to travel daily to college from home and obtain their
necessary certification in only eight weeks.
