 An effort to bring more law enforcement training to the Northern Minnesota Leech Lake Tribal College is hosting a series of events for area agencies. The trainings teach a variety of courses and issue certifications for different skills such as de-escalation tactics during mental health crises. During today's training with Taser International, the participants were able to learn when to use a Taser, the proper way to deploy the weapon and follow-up procedure. The lesson included a live demo in which 50-thousand electricity is discharged from the Taser. As far as the college and the law enforcement program, what we want to do is we want to serve this community. The Tribal College wants to serve the reservation, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and area law enforcement officers and really the community that they police. Some of the upcoming trainings for law enforcement officials will be free through federal grants while others will have a fee.
