  1. The expanded capacity is much needed now that hospitals can have police departments and need to send their officers through ILEA for training

    1. Then they should be contributing to the fund since they are all profit centers

  2. Why was this place built to produce more than double the number of recruits (1,200) than what they normally produce (500-600)? In what reality is Indiana hiring twice as many cops as it does now?

    If a new high school was built like that, Micah Beckwith would be making angry Facebook posts.

    1. And is the training only once a year? If not, then the dorm space could be even smaller.
