OFFIICERTRAI'NIIN - <br /> Professional training benefits the officers, the department, and the communities in which we <br /> serve. The department benefits by having well trained police officers, thus minimizing <br /> department liability. The communities also realize the benefits of having officers who have a <br /> well-rounded base of knowledge and experience in a variety of areas to better help them. <br /> The Minnesota State Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.)
