Wallace PD’s Command staff recently began an internal leadership development program. Our first assignment was Extreme Ownership by former Navy Seal, Jocko Willink. We highly recommend this book for anyone in leadership.

Update on the death investigation and victims: (1 of 2)

Sabeian Mathis, 20y/o B/M of Rose Hill was killed by a single gun shot wound.
Jarmmell Faison 45y/o B/M of Warsaw and
Samuel Melvin, 26y/o B/M of Warsaw both had non-life threatening gun shot wounds.

The shooting occurred at the American Legion. The facility was being rented out for a private party by people who are not from Wallace. The incident appears to have been related only to guests of the party and there does not appear to be any ongoing threat to the public.
