FOR THE RECORD

A story in Thursday's editions about candidates for Roanoke County police chief quoted Bill Mayo, director of the regional Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy in Salem, as saying that he was not aware of an out-of-state police officer who had successfully challenged the Virginia law enforcement certification program by scoring 100 percent on every basic exam and practical exam.

Mayo actually is aware of one person who successfully challenged the system. That person, however, did not score 100 percent on every basic exam and practical exam the first time he took them. He was allowed, under academy regulations, to take tests again in an effort to score 100 percent, Mayo said.
