Stoney MathisGUEST
And, uh, to be quite honest, some of these police officers are probably way more advanced than they are in their rank because they're so keen to this business.
Stoney MathisGUEST
Um, l- and, you know, we're very lucky here in Columbus because we have Columbus State University that we've recruited from, and we also have the, uh, Fort Benning, that we get a lot of military people that get out of the military and wanna be police officers.
Stoney MathisGUEST
So we're very lucky here in Columbus to get some of this experience from the military, um, into the private sector, um, I mean the public sector of law enforcement that we have here in Columbus.

Stoney MathisGUEST
I've sent, um, about six month people through Command College, which is at Columbus State University, to get their master's degree in the last three years.

Sean CruzenHOST
The Gimli mission.
Sean CruzenHOST
