Michael Johnson, manager of United Police Supply, was recently on the BRTC Pocahontas campus to award United Police Supply’s Jonathan Schmidt Memorial Scholarship to Patrolman Josiah Smith, a graduate of BRTC’s Law Enforcement Training Academy (LETA) Class of 2022-B.
Patrolman Smith of the Harrison Police Department was selected for the scholarship by the LETA instructional staff based on his excellent attitude and work ethic. The $500 scholarship awarded to Smith will be used for his professional development.
The United Police Supply’s Jonathan Schmidt Memorial Scholarship was named in honor of Trumann Police Officer Jonathan Schmidt, a 2007-B LETA graduate, who was killed in the line of duty.
