The Post and Courier reports that nearly 20% of police officers in training cannot read at the 10th grade level. It's a situation that is both unsettling and costly to state coffers.
Hop over to the paper for this story.
They also have a story about a Lowcountry sheriff who is calling for more weeks of training for recruits.
