This cost-effective,
12-week program, offered each quarter, applies diverse training experiences
and innovative training strategies to prepare recruits to be highly
qualified officers.
Classroom
and practical training are central to the program. All instructors are
state certified and are currently active in their fields of expertise.
Students also are required to take part in several practical scenarios
that include traffic stops, crimes in progress, building searches, court
testimony, street stops and a variety of everyday situations common
to police work.
A regularly
scheduled strength and aerobic program is conducted during the academy
program. Defensive tactics, along with other techniques, including verbal
judo, are part of the curriculum.
The firearms
program is set up with safety first. All instructors are master firearms
certified and full-time law enforcement officers. To ensure safety,
we maintain a close ratio of students to instructors.
