Sebelius names Kansans to oversee law enforcement training
Five named to Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training

Law enforcement officers rely on their skills and training to stay safe as they protect Kansas communities.  To help ensure these officers receive high-quality instruction, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has reappointed five individuals to the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training. 

“It takes enormous commitment to put your life on the line every day as you go out to protect the community.  That’s why we must make sure our law enforcement officers receive the training they need to perform their duties safely,” said Sebelius.

The Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training oversees law enforcement training in Kansas.  Among other things, it approves the basic core training curriculum for all Kansas law enforcement officers and grants certification to all Kansas full and part-time officers who meet the prerequisites for certification.

            The following individuals were reappointed to serve four-year terms:

• Jim Jarboe, Lakin
• David Miller, Louisburg
• Bob Odell, Winfield
• Gary Steed, Wichita
• Steven Stowers, Hutchinson
