Brennan says police are trained A Rapid City attorney and Republican candidate for the state Senate Friday challenged statements made this week by a Democratic Senate candidate who proposed establishment of a state-sponsored and financed police academy.

James Brennan said the type of schooling advocated by Homer Kandaras addressing the Democratic Forum in Rapid City on Tuesday has been con. ducted for the past 10 years by the office of the state attorney general and the Department of Criminal Investigation in cooperation with the South Dakota Sheriff's, and Police Officers Association. Brennan said the school was formerly conducted at the University of South Dakota but now has been decentralized with regional schools established at Rapid City, Aberdeen, Pierre, Huron and Sioux Falls. The school is conducted for two weeks on an 8-hour-a-day basis with no tuition charged. Lectures are presented experts in the field of narcotics, selfdefense, first aid, criminal investigation procedures, court procedures, arrest and search warrant procedures, riot control, crime prevention and game violations.

In addition, according to Brennan, the' Department of Criminal Investigation conducts a seminar each year at the annual meeting of the sheriff's and police officers association at which experts in various fields of law enforcement are brought to the state to explain developments in criminal investigation and crime detection. "As a states attorney, I lectured at these schools along with FBI agents and experts in other fields of criminal investigation. I further conducted a school, while I was states attorney, on court procedures in criminal prosecution for law enforcement personnel of Pennington County sheriff's deputies, highway, patrolmen, state police officers, air police and game wardens," Brennan said. In addition to the regional schools conducted by the state, special schools are conducted on a continuing basis by law enforcement agencies, Brennan contended. The GOP candidate said the Rapid City Police Department has a 30-day training program for new police officers before they are given duty assignments and an experienced officer accompanies them on their first duty assignments.

Brennan pointed out the 1970 legislature passed a law enforcement officers standards and training act. Also during the session a bill appropriating $350,000 for construction and equipping a state law enforcement training center at Pierre failed to be reported out of the Senate Appropriations Committee. "I share Mr. Kandaras' enthusiasm for law, enforcement and this is the reasons why I am seeking a state Senate seat and why I announced this as a plank in my candidacy during the primary election. However I believe Mr.

Kandaras should check existing records and facts before he recommends initiation of programs when they do in fact exist and have existed for many years," Brennan concluded. Brennan offered to address the Democratic Forum or any other organization relative to the training being given and available to law enforcement officers in South Dakota.

They think the subjects escaped through the broken window where they entered. Gilbert Holsworth, 3104 Oak, reported that his two small dogs are missing and believes they were stolen.
