These are fine young people and it

Two officers named instructors
BY TERRY M. EVANS
The recent qualification of two
Burleson police officers as police
instructors will provide a new
dimension of training for the rest
of the department, according to
Sgt. Darvll Markum. BPD training
coordinator
Detective Bruce Fayette and Of-
ticer An Loignon join Markum as
instructors in a continuous train-
ing process conducted with BPD
personnel. Together, the men rep-
resent 43 years of law enforce-
ment experience and will instruct
their fellow BPD officers with in-
service courses conducted at the
Burleson police station during
normal working hours.
"Every Friday is scheduled
training day and attending the
classes is pan of the officers’
duties." Markum said The
' schedule allows us to conduct
training with several officers while
isaintaining a sufficient number
■.q( officers on patrol to take care of
^the city ” With the new four-day
rwork week, implemented by Chief
rof Police Keith Rippy, virtually
-every officer in the department is
on duty each Friday.
Fayette and Loignon were
•SiSiosen to attend the instructor
;£%:hool because of their "ex-
tperience and expertise in the field
and their abilities to impan their
knowledge to the other officers,"
Markum said He described their
classes as 40 hours of intensive in-
ruction in how to be a police
n instructor.
—: Conducted at the Regional
police Academy at the Council of
^governments in Arlington, the
'Course included training in needs
assessments, making presen-
tations, writing exams, evaluating
students' progress and other el-
ements of being a police instruc-
tor. Markum said that with
homework every night and exira
hours studying, the new instruc-
tors were kept quite busy while in
school. ‘There must be about 80
hours of material in every 40
hour class.”
Markum said the BPD is geanng
to provide 40 hours per year of
continuing law enforcement train-
ing for each officer. The staff of
the department believe that such
training will soon become a state
law and a minimum number of
hours per year will be required to
maintain each officer’s license.
"We want to make sure we either
meet or exceed those guidelines
when they come."
Because training away from the
depanment is expensive, having
three qualified instructors in the
BPD is considered very cost effec-
tive, Markum said. He speculated
that some of the training mav have
to be conducted on the officers'
off days, but he expected the of-
ficers to be compensated with
time off or ovenime pay.
While he said that the BPD is
moderately younger in experience
than the force was when he joined
it in 1978, Markum believes they
are close to the same level. “We’ve
been lucky enough to recruit some
well experienced people."
Fayette has been with the BPD
for five years, while Loignon
joined the force a little over six
months ago. The former has been
in law enforcement for 21 years
and the latter, for seven years.
Markum staried his career 1?
years ago.
Rippy, himself a qualified police
instructor, plans to conduct some
of the training sessions.

both young people of Burleson
