Connors Takes Another Step in Ensuring Student, Staff Safety

Connors State College has taken another step in ensuring the safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. In October 2011, the CSC administration hired James Mendenhall as the coordinator of safety and security. Mendenhall joined Connors State with over 20 years of experience in law enforcement.  On June 13th, Mendenhall finished the hours necessary to become a  state certified law enforcement officer by completing 14 ½ weeks of intensive on-site training through the Council of Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) in Ada, Oklahoma.  The academy consists of 596 hours with days beginning at 6:00 am and lights out at 10:00 pm.  The academy’s basic courses included the following training areas:  Law Enforcement Driver Training, Firearms, Traffic, Criminal Investigation, Defensive Tactics, and Patrol Tactics, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.  Out of 61 in the graduating class, Mendenhall finished in the top ten of his class in firearms training and law enforcement driver training.  Mendenhall will complete an additional 40 hours of Police Chief Administrative and Command Staff Training in the Fall of 2012.
