KU Seeks Temporary Funds For Law Enforcement Center
KU officials ask Governor Carlin to authorize temporary financing for the Hutchinson training center after a Kansas Supreme Court ruling struck down a 1978 law that funded the facility through surcharges. The ruling halves training hours from 400 to 200, prompting curriculum changes as the center trains 500 to 600 officers yearly.
