Training for 911 operators from the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) has a lot of people upset because it contains a Nazi symbol.
C1 3 training has a lot of people upset because it contains a nazi symbol.
Abc36's chelsea smith talked with a lexington rabbi who says this is extremely personal.
### "that is one spark of light in this story, that someone called this out and said this is wrong."
The department of criminal justice training is under fire for an online course "911 response to the drug epidemic" for telecommunica tors... which has the jewish community in shock.
Rabbi "it's personally shocking to me and offensive."
Student journalists at the manual red eye in louisville say an anonymous law enforcement source first alerted them to the controversial clip.
It shows a "black sun"... historically a nazi symbol.
"that alone is a horrifying oversight."
Lexington rabbi shlomo litvin says the clip comes from a longer video... not included in the training... that promotes nazi ideology and blames the opioid crisis on the jewish community.
The department of criminal justice training says it doesn't know where the clip came from...but it was used in training starting september 2020.
"the issue is not this course.
The issue is that there are multiple people who okayed this, who looked it over and said it was fine.
What are the last 10 training videos they approved and what's the next one going to look like."
Both the governor and criminal justice training commissioner say they're reviewing all current and previous training materials.
The commissioner says he immediately had the video removed from the training course.
He said in part: "i expect the highest level of standards when creating law enforcement training materials for the commonwealth and this will not be tolerated under my leadership."
