HUMBOLDT —  After 14 weeks of training, Nina Froggatte graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center Friday.
The ceremony marked the 245th class to graduate from the basic training course. Chief Terry Zeigler of the Kansas City Police Department gave the commencement address.
“Each of you will now go back to your community and apply what you learned in the classroom to serve the community,” Zeigler said. “It will not be easy, I promise you that. There is going to be many challenges, but you will get through it if you rely on your training.” 
Humboldt Police Chief Brian Dillow attended the ceremony along with clerk Lora Hunt.
“I am very proud of her,” Dillow said. “It might be the end of this, but it’s the beginning of a great career.”
Froggatte’s father, Jared, said, “I am just glad she graduated. I never had a doubt. I am very proud of her.”
Dillow said the Humboldt department has been understaffed and will be glad to get Nina Froggatte back on board. She initially will shadow another officer and resume ordinance violation and animal control duties. Further training will include what it feels like to get tased. Although he expressed his dislike for the exercise, Dillow said it is important that officers understand what suspects go through when they are tased, and to have direct knowledge in case the officers have to testify in court about a tasing incident.
Twenty dollars of the court costs from every traffic ticket issued in Kansas goes toward funding the Kansas Enforcement Training Center. The fees enable departments from around the state to send officers for the training without further charge.
