BUFFALO, N.Y. The internal file on Kenneth Achtyl, the former Erie County Sheriff s Deputy who was found guilty of assaulting a Bills fan during a 2017 tailgate, just resurfaced after it was missing for three weeks. We found out the document was missing from a filing by an attorney that represents the county and the sheriffs, and obviously when we learned that a document in this day and age of this significance was missing, obviously we found that extremely surprising and very peculiar, said attorney Aaron Glazer, who represents Nicholas Belsito in a lawsuit against Erie County stemming from the incident.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – When Florida implemented a sweeping overhaul of statewide police training last year, all Defensive Tactics instructors at Daytona State College’s School of Emergency Services had to learn the changes in a 24-hour-long update class.
Longtime instructor Sean Walker said classes continue to teach takedown and restraints techniques focused on the hips, not head, to better protect not just the officer but also the arrestee.
“When someone is on the ground, you either have to control their head, pin their head to the ground, or pin their hips to the ground, to keep them on the ground,” Walker said. “Really the only weight you would have on the subject was across the shoulder blades close to his neck and spine. Obviously that’s gone away.”

A longtime sheriff s deputy recently was honored for more than 30 years of service to the people of Vermilion Parish.
