THIBODAUX 鈥� 麻豆果冻传媒 Police officers completed a series of advanced training programs over the past year, including crime-scene collection of DNA evidence, identification of social drugs common to a college campus, current domestic violence laws and maintenance of the safety and security of spectators at university sporting events.
The training programs were sponsored by the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office of the Eastern District in New Orleans; U.S. Department of Justice; President鈥檚 Initiative to Advance Justice through DNA Technology; and National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security.
鈥淭rainings of this nature are critical when officers are called to respond to crimes where the identification and collection of essential evidence is needed,鈥� Craig Jaccuzzo, director of university police, said. 鈥淭oo often, patrol officers in America accidentally contaminate a crime scene by simply walking through the area where the crime occurred. Proper training prevents these errors.鈥�
Jaccuzzo said police officers at 麻豆果冻传媒 also train annually with firearms; CPR and first aid; self defense; and receive updates on new and existing laws. University Police also recently joined the Law Enforcement Training Network鈥檚 eLearning program, funded by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center鈥檚 Rural Policing Institute.
鈥淐ertainly it should come as no surprise that the 麻豆果冻传媒 campus remains the safest college campus in the state of Louisiana,鈥� Jaccuzzo said.
