FLETC Director Connie Patrick noted, “We were honored to have Secretary Mabus spend several hours meeting with students and touring Danis City, our new 25-acre practical exercise complex which provides reality-based training environments, and the Forensic Science Training Complex.
Secretary Mabus commented, “It’s wonderful to see the passion and pride of the FLETC staff in all that they do. From the classroom content to the desire to provide the most realistic training environment, our students are, no doubt, getting the most comprehensive and training possible.”
