"We've shown them a number of the many things there are to do in Hopkins County, as well as told them about many of industries that make Hopkins County their home," advised Glossup.
"And, many of the local businesses were kind enough to add some of their products to 'goody' bags, for each of those in attendance," stated Colyer.
Topics for the Training Session, on Thursday, included: Constable and Justice of the Peace State And Federal Law Updates, Civil Process, Human Trafficking, Child Attachments, the Britteny Sage Lindt Act, Military Funerals, Cockfighting, DWI Updates, and a number of other topics.
The East Texas Justices of the Peace and Constable Association Board held their meeting on Wednesday night, at the Holiday Inn Express and another Quarterly meeting of the Association was being hosted on Thursday, at 1:00 p.m.
"The training sessions always are informative and offer updates that we need to be aware of," expressed King. "It's our opportunity for professional training, to keep abreast of changing laws and statutes."
"Everyone was very complimentary of the hospitality here in Hopkins County," stated Glossup. "We want to thank the local businesses and individuals that have helped welcome everyone to Sulphur Springs!"
