Youmans graduates basic training

By Mena Police Department

On July 28, Mena Police Patrolman Travis Youmans graduated Basic Training at the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy in East Camden.

Basic Training provides instruction and practical application in criminal investigation, accident investigation, firearms, defensive tactics, officer safety techniques, traffic law, criminal law, civil liability and other legal aspects of law enforcement, crime prevention, crisis intervention, cultural diversity, and other areas of importance to officers beginning their career.

We are glad to have him on our team.
