BUFFALO – Attorney General Letitia James announced this week’s sentencing of Dennis Brennan for defrauding the state and citizens of New York by failing to provide proper security guard and peace officer training courses required by New York state law through the Peace Officer Training Academy of Buffalo, New York, which he owned and directed for many years, and further, by subsequently submitting fraudulent documents to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) falsely stating that proper training requirements had been met.
