Investigations Bootcamp | October 12–16
New detectives completed a week of intensive training at KLETC’s Edwards Campus, building skills to support complex investigations.
The course covered death and homicide investigations, s*xual assaults, crimes against children, financial crimes, and property crimes. Participants also developed skills in interviewing, charging expectations, search warrants, crime scene management, and evidence collection. Practical exercises and daily briefings helped put classroom learning into action.
KLETC thanks the instructors and subject matter experts from the Overland Park Police Department, Lenexa Police Department, the District Attorney's Investigative Office, KLETC, the Johnson County Assistant District Attorney's Office, and the Johnson County Crime Scene Unit for sharing their expertise.
Through collaboration and continuing education, KLETC strengthens investigative capabilities and prepares Kansas law enforcement professionals for the challenges they face in the field.

Practical skills. Safer facilities.

Deputies and correctional officers from across Kansas are strengthening skills they can take directly back to their duties through KLETC’s Safe Corrections Operations training, October 20–21.
In collaboration with the Johnson County, KS Sheriff's Office, participants are receiving hands-on instruction in restraints, searches, and contraband control at the Johnson County Adult Detention Center.

Meet Officer Jacob Iverson of the McLouth Police Department

Class president of the 364th Basic Training Class at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC)
Officer Jacob Iverson, a Mulvane native, graduated from high school in 2017 and immediately enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served as an infantryman. Over the next seven years, he rose to sergeant and spent most of his military career leading squads and teams. During this time, he discovered a passion for serving others.
After leaving the military and moving to northeast Kansas, Officer Iverson sought a career where he could continue that mission on a more personal, local level. That led him to the McLouth Police Department. Raised in a small town, he knows what it means for a community to have an officer invested in it.
Away from work, Officer Iverson spends time with his fiancée and their two dogs. He's often found at the lake, on the golf course, or at a Kansas City Chiefs game. He also competes in half-marathons and other endurance events.
As class president, Officer Iverson brought leadership and teamwork to the 364th Basic Training Class at KLETC. As he begins his career, he is committed to continued learning and professional growth in service to the citizens of McLouth.
