Each year, the department trains more than 8,000 st
udents in professional development classes. The Professional
Development Branch offers specialized training for
law enforcement officers and telecommunicators. Each
officer in the state must receive at least 40 hours
of annual training to remain certified. The annual
training is also required for the officers to continue
to qualify for the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation
Program Fund, or KLEFPF. Professional development
training was originally offered so officers could
comply with KLEFPF requirements. |

The section coordinates and instructs over 50 different
curriculums. Courses offered include Accident Investigation,
Domestic Violence, Criminal Investigations, Firearms,
Narcotics, Management/Supervision, and Techniques
for PoliceInstructors. Classes are held in Richmond
and at the department's
Louisville office. |
Instructors
also travel across the state offering courses in a
variety of locations, such as the Hal Rogers Center
in Hazard. This 35,000 square foot state-of-the-art
facility has an 800-seat auditorium, three classrooms,
and a distance learning computer lab, a large conference
room and two firearm simulators. It will eventually
have a driving simulator as well.
