Patrolman Josiah Smith Awarded the United Police Supply’s Jonathan Schmidt Memorial Scholarship

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.
