Law enforcement may be in Keaton Goering’s blood, but family history isn’t the only factor that influences his new career. Goering’s grandfather was in law enforcement for five decades and his father was a detective. However, his experiences at Barton Community College have kept him motivated.

The new Barton County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) patrol deputy successfully completed Barton’s Criminal Justice curriculum and is scheduled to attend the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center this summer.
