Sheriff Rovenstine Serving On Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Kosciusko County Sheriff C. Aaron Rovenstine has added one more duty to his plate -Êmembership on the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board.
In September 2005, Governor Mitch Daniels appointed Rovenstine to the 17-member board that oversees police training as well as disciplinary matters at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield. The entire board, along with the advisory council, is selected by the governor.
Rovenstine, who represents county sheriffs in counties with at least 50,000 population, will serve on the board until Dec. 31, the end of his current term as Kosciusko County Sheriff.
"I am honored to have been chosen for this board," Rovenstine said. "It is an honor to be a part of it. A group of gifted and talented people comprise the board."
Currently, one of the main duties of the board is to oversee training procedures for law enforcement officers throughout the state. This is the part of the job Rovenstine is looking forward to most.
"The most exciting part to me is the training part," said Rovenstine. "The training board sets the standards for Indiana Law Enforcement and influences requirements for all police officers in Indiana. I am excited to have some influence on training in the state."
Along with the training decisions, the board also takes care of discipline at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.
"The board takes care of disciplinary matters and operations at the academy," said Rovenstine. "The board picks the director (of the academy)."
All police officers in the state are required to attend classes at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy before they are legally certified, so the rules set forth by the board affect all future officers in Indiana.
The Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board meets every other month in Plainfield.
Other members of the board include the superintendent of the Indiana State Police, Paul Whitesell, and the deputy director of Homeland Security, Joe Wainscott, as well as two sheriffs, three police chiefs, a prosecuting attorney, a circuit or superior court judge, a member of the media, a member of the medical profession, an educational representative, a business person, a labor representative and an elected official.
