Morgan graduates with DOCJT Class 545 By Michael A. Moore Richmond, KY - On February 8, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that 34 law enforcement officers from agencies across the state have graduated the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training's (DOCJT) basic training academy, including David A. Morgan with the Burkesville Police Department. These law enforcement officers will now serve and protect the commonwealth to create safer communities. "Congratulations to these officers and deputies on their outstanding accomplishment," Gov. Beshear said. "We send them our support for the work they will do in the communities they have volunteered to serve and protect, and we pray for their safety daily." DOCJT is committed to providing officers with best practices, the latest technology training and legal information to protect the diverse communities they serve. The graduates of Class 545 received more than 800 hours of recruit-level instruction over 20 weeks. Major training areas include patrol procedures, physical training, vehicle operations, defensive tactics, criminal law, traffic and DUI, firearms, criminal investigations, cultural awareness, bias related crimes and tactical responses to crisis situations. The everchanging nature of public safety and protection requires DOCJT to remain on the cutting edge of law enforcement training practices. This includes providing officers and recruits with the latest technology training and legal information available to protect the diverse communities they serve. Advancements in training, facilities and instruction are made often, allowing DOCJT trainers and trainees to have the most possible resources at their disposal. Today's 34 graduating law enforcement officers are now ready to wear the badge along with the other 1,357 Kentuckians who have completed their basic training since December 2019. They will work together to create a commonwealth that is safer for all Kentuckians now and into the future. "I appreciate the commitment from Class 545," said DOCJT Commissioner Nicolai Jilek. "I am confident in the professional service they will provide to all Kentuckians across the commonwealth's 120 counties." The Beshear-Coleman Administration is proud to welcome the 34 new law enforcement officers into the partnership of public safety. Along with all those currently serving in law enforcement, graduates will play key roles in the ongoing effort to make each of Kentucky's communities safer. Class 545 graduates and their agencies are:
