Richmond, KY - Thirty-three law enforcement officers from agencies across the state graduated Thursday from basic training at the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training, including John M. Stalcup with the Burkesville Police Department and Christopher L. Tweedy with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
