74: Week 3 Legislative Recap

In this episode, FSA provides a Week 3 legislative recap with a great summary of a successful Sheriffs Day at the Capitol. 38 sheriffs walked the halls and met with legislators and the governor.  We also sit down with FSA President Sheriff Al Nienhuis as he summarizes the work that was done, and he also explains the importance of Rapid DNA.  Funding of Rapid DNA in our county jails is a top priority for sheriffs, and we give you the insights of why this new technology is so important to local communities. ________________________________________ Thanks for listening to FSAcast.  Listen to every episode at flsheriffs.org/fsacast.  Enjoying the conversation?
