Bunkie Police Department officers and deputies from the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office attended a training course earlier this month instructed by Assistant District Attorneys Jenny Donaghey-Beckham and Jonathan Gaspard.

The course consisted of the vital information and evidence collecting by officers on the scene of a crime and the impact it has when prosecuting cases in court. Trial preparation, courtroom procedures and testimony were also taught during the course. It was also interactive between the officers and the instructors about how communication can be improved between law enforcement agencies and prosecutors.

Assistant Chief Horton would like to express his gratitude to ADA Jonathan Gaspard and ADA Jenny Donaghey-Beckham for their time and knowledge in making this training a success.
