WE THE PEOPLE
THE ROBERT H. SMITH CENTER FOR THE CONSTITUTION
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS
Center expands programs to train law enforcement on the U.S. Constitution
Law enforcement officers take an oath to protect the Constitution, yet
many only have a cursory knowledge of the document. With this in mind,
Montpelier’s Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution began offering
constitutional training for law enforcement in 2009, and has grown
its programming year-over-year to become one of Virginia’s premier
constitutional law enforcement training centers.
