 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign-up or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. The new criminal justice program at the MacGuffin County Tech Center offers students the opportunity to get as much hands-on training and law enforcement as possible from the criminal justice aspect to health and wellness and corrections. Program instructor Jason Cottle gets the opportunity to share his work experience with his students. I worked locally for a few years with Preston's work police department. I worked with Kentucky State Police for a few years due to some medical issues I had to leave the road so this is my way of still staying with it and giving back to some of these kids helping them out. Instructor Cottle may teach the class for the kids but the kids take the class for many different reasons. There's a lot more benefits I think to hands-on because for one it leads you more experience in the real world. With this course I think it is really really boosted confidence because it shows you that you can go up against larger opponents and know what you're doing and be able to defend yourself and be prepared. By taking this class I feel like we've took our first steps in the life of law enforcement. There's so many things that have changed me. I look at this career field I've seen the daily struggles, the pain of the job and what it has to be dealt with every single day but just as well I've seen the side of how you develop a care for people. It shows them by just what little mistake they can make and it can ruin the whole career of their of their future and by them taking this course it shows them how they can become a good police officer in law enforcement. Although not all the students plan to go into law enforcement they can all now say they have a different perspective. Reporting from MacGuffin County for EKB News, I'm Sean Allen.
