Chesapeake Energy Senior Security Officer, Sammy L. Wyatt presented Walter Shofner, president of the East Texas Peace Officer's Association, with a donation Wednesday, February 10th. Chesapeake Energy's donation goes to sponsor the 59th Annual Training Conference and Awards Banquet which is scheduled to be held for the first time in Shelby County at the new J.D. Windham Civic Center June 27th thru the 29th.

“At Chesapeake we understand the value of law enforcement and the relationships formed by those serving,” said Kevin McCotter, Chesapeake’s Senior Director of Corporate Development, Haynesville. “Those in the peace keeping role are deeply knitted into the fabric of this area and we have the utmost respect for the men and women who serve our communities. The East Texas Peace Officer's Association is a tremendous organization working to build relationships, providing continuing education and offering encouragement for the exchange of information between law enforcement agencies within this area.”

The conference is expected to draw 150 law enforcement officers, jailers, and dispatchers as well as family members of those attending. Walter Shofner stated, "I think is will be a good boost for the community and this will be the best facility we have had available for the Training Conference in the past."

The conference includes continuing education opportunities for attending officers as well as a golf tournament that is scheduled for Sunday, June 27th. Proceeds raised from the tournament and conference goes towards other training opportunities throughout the year and scholarships.
