Today our club toured the SMART Center. Our tour was led by Joe Leko, Chief Deputy Sheriff (Dakota County). It was fun and informative to visit the training site and see the Electronic Crimes Unit area. We are fortunate to have this state of the art facility serving Rosemount & Dakota County. Joe, thanks for the tour and your leadership.
