"There is no doubt in my mind that the level of the academy will be increased with the resources the college has offered. This partnership benefits both the college and the Sheriff's Association because it attracts more people who are interested in law enforcement careers, and it gives us a location where we can spread our wings. Both Three Rivers and the Training Academy are progressive organizations - we are constantly finding ways to increase services for the community." Butler County Sherriff Mark Dobbs MSATA instructor |
