Lawrence police expand mental health crisis training progress
After three years of effort the Lawrence police department has 79 percent of its roughly 150 officers trained in mental health crisis intervention. An additional 14 officers completed the 40 hour course this week, with turnover and new hires delaying full 100 percent coverage despite ongoing commitment to train all officers.

Officials discuss tolls on roads like K-10
State officials explore tolls to fund road expansions including the South Lawrence Trafficway. Douglas County leaders oppose tolling Lawrence routes to avoid duplicating toll roads. A public hearing set for Nov. 8 in Olathe will hear testimony from county officials and task force members on potential toll revenue.
