Law Enforcement Class Is Unique Law enforcement officers taught a law enforcement class this year in room 1. Last year Law Enforcement class was uni- que in Colorado. This year the class was so successful it was taught in Buena Vista also. Willcox taught the class the position in which police officers fire a gun and displayed police weapons. At one of several demonstrations four Lake County and Leadville officers brought police dogs and explained how the dogs are trained to attack, detect drugs, retrieve, and track. Dogs also guard the police cars. UNDER SHERIFF BOB WILLCOX Top left, explains the use of handguns, and demonstrates the latest position in which to fire a hand gun.
