LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) -A recent bill signed by Governor Stitt will allow some CLEET courses to be taught to high school students enrolled in law enforcement programs at technology center schools.
For 16 years, Law Enforcement Program Instructor Buddy Neasbitt has been trying to add these courses to his curriculum at the Great Plains Technology Center.
“I’ve battled with CLEET, and several other organizations to get this passed,” said Neasbitt. “But they’re saying high school students. They can’t be police officers. But yet we’re not building a reserve ready to become police officers.”
