Proposed modernization of the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center in Hutchinson at a cost of $200 million to $250 million would adhere to curriculum and instructional reforms necessary to prepare a new generation of public-safety officers, officials said. Implementation of a campus master plan — the first since the center was authorized in 1968 — would require approval of the Kansas Legislature. The anticipated price tag could lead the state to embrace a private-public partnership in which the infrastructure was financed and built by a private company and leased to the state for a period leading to acquisition.
