FORT PAYNE, Ala. — DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office has started hosting law enforcement training courses for our Deputies and for all other law enforcement officer around the county. They are providing these training sessions free to all participants and to help keep costs low for all law enforcement agencies.

Hal Nash is the Training Coordinator and a Task Force Agent for the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. Nash has already brought a lot of training to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office with many different agencies already taking advantage of these free sessions.

DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris said, “We are providing these trainings at no cost and locally so agencies don’t have to send their officers out of town and spend a lot of money on training." 

"It is critical for law enforcement to have this kind of training, not only to help them learn how to stay safe themselves, but to learn how to protect the citizens of DeKalb County too,” Harris added.
