The reconditioned Apple computers were presented to BLET coordinator Philip Bailey during a brief ceremo- ny last week. "These computers will go a long way toward enhanc- ing the learning environment for our students," said Bailey. "Today's law enforcement of- fi cers have to be up on the latest technology, whether it's fi lling out reports or look- ing up codes and statutes. We really appreciate Face- book stepping up to provide this much-needed classroom technology." The BLET program is the state-mandated class for all people who want to serve as law enforcement offi cers in North Carolina. The next class starts Aug. 18.
