This table of weapons was displayed at the Feb. 15 Citizen's Academy program in Dayton. The topic of the evening was Officer Defensive Tactics and Use of Force. The table is filled with actual weapons that have been used to confront local officers in the performance of their duties. Thirty-two citizens are participating in the class that runs for 11 weeks from Feb. through April. Sheriff Joe Helm said the class has stirred interest in bringing back the Search & Rescue and Reserve Deputy programs.
