Sheriff Attends Annual Training Conference

             Glasscock County Sheriff Keith Burnett recently attended the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas 132nd Annual Training Conference at the Fort Worth Convention Center with over 1,500 people in attendance.

            The annual conference, which is held in various cities across the state, allows sheriffs, deputies, federal, state and city law enforcement officers to network and discuss different issues that affect law enforcement across the state and nation. This year, participants received training on a variety of topics including: bail bonds, communications interoperability, prisoner transportation safety, mental health/medical clearance protocols, records management, forensic DNA analysis, and pardons/parole among other topics. Participants also had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the latest crime fighting tools and technology.

            The Sheriffs’ Association of Texas (SAT) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the effectiveness of local law enforcement in Texas. Through the support of their Members, SAT provides training, legal/technical information, and other critical resources to Peace Officers in Texas. SAT also offers scholarships to Peace Officers and their children who wish to continue their education. In addition, they honor Fallen Officers with their Lost Lawman Memorial.
