maintains a current training file on every Road Patrol Deputy. The file contains
State of Ohio Basic Police certification and all in service training completed
by each Deputy. The list above by no means is all the in service training
completed by Deputies. Deputies have well over 700 hours of training just to be

considered one of the most professional police agencies in the State of Ohio.

within those Townships.
