Governor Roy Cooper signed an Executive Order to allow some law enforcement training classes to continue during the pandemic, according to a press release. The order waives rules that would cause law enforcement training classes, which require multi-week trainings, to have to start over from the beginning if there was a postponement or rescheduling due to a COVID-19 outbreak. With the rules waived, Governor Cooper said in the press release that law enforcement can continue to serve and protect communities by receiving the training they need.
