Governor Eric Holcomb has appointed the Vanderburgh County Sheriff to the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board.
A news release from the sheriff’s office says Sheriff Dave Wedding will serve as one of just three elected sheriffs on the training board.
It says Wedding will have a voice regarding law enforcement training standards and training practices throughout Indiana.
Wedding says he‘s honored to be appointed to the board.
He says the training of new police officers and deputy sheriffs is of “paramount importance” and that strict entrance testing, performance standards, and high quality training should be “maintained and enhanced wherever and whenever possible.”
Sheriff Wedding attended his first training board meeting in Plainfield on Monday.
He’ll serve on the board until December 2022.
