New training hones police skills
By MARK SPENCER
Staff Reporter
The woman looked unusually calm as police led her into the courtroom, passing at the entrance to remove the handcuffs from her wrists.
The police knew they had a live one—she had tried to escape twice before, a policeman revealed.
Things looked grim for the woman. She was accused of pumping four rounds into her ex-boyfriend with a 38 caliber revolver Wednesday and the cops had the goods on
What? She was accused of a Wednesday murder and was standing trial the next day? How could this be? The wheels of justice are not that swift.
A skilled courtroom observer would have also questioned what kind of derelict defense attorney would allow a jury comprised of six law enforcement officers.
AFTER A trial that lasted about two hours, she was found guilty.
When she woke up this morning, however, she pat on her police uniform and went to work as usual. Officer Jesse Treu was just part of some critical medical problem
for officers in the Lawrence Police Department Recruit Training Academy.
For the past two days, the nine officers enrolled in this year's session of the academy have been investigating a mock murder.
Five officers from the Lawrence police department, three sheriff's deputies and a KU police officer participated in the program.
Thursday a mannequin dubbed by police as Randy L. Smith was found dead in the back yard of his imagined rural home.
Officers participating in the drill intruded on the front of the crime, searching for fingerprints, footprints and signs of a struggle.
THE PURPOSE of the training, according to the ministrative division of the Law enforcement department, was to add practical experience to the skills the officers had acquired.
"We're training them. We want to reinforce their ability to use what they've learned in class," he said.

"Policemen have to be and do so many different things," Rock said. "They'll make mistakes, but they'll make some of them in training and they won't repeat them."
Representatives of community-based crisis organizations like Headquarters and the Rape Crisis Prevention Center have spoken to the academy, he said.
"routemen all through the state need more basic training. A policeman has to attend a certified school his first year in law enforcement. We prefer to train them right off the bat."
THE PROGRAM is conducted in cooperation with the KU Law School.
Mock hearing
During her mock trial, the defendant, played by Lawrence police officer Jesse Treu, consults with her lawyer, acted out by Gary Kessler, law student.
