Baltimore's Towson University recently announced a new online sheriff training program. Here's a blurb from their college paper:

"Towson University will offer online training courses for sheriffs across the country who are limited by budgetary or travel restraints.

Towson announced its partnership with the National sheriff Association at a reception in the Administration Building Wednesday morning.

The NSA presented the Division of Economic and Community Outreach's Extended Education and Online Learning unit with a $53,000 check to start the program."

The new program features video examples of physical activities and online versions of already existing courses. Interested officers may enroll in courses early 2008.
