LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY PROGRAM
A comprehensive Basic Peace Officer Licensure Certificate Program designed to prepare the student for employment as a police officer in the state of Texas. The information covered will provide foundation knowledge necessary to be a successful peace officer in a citizen-responsive, community-based environment. Successful completion of the certificate will allow the candidate to sit for the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) Basic Peace Officer licensing exam.
An information packet and application will be available at the Division of Social Sciences and Business (Room B-245) or at the college’s main reception area about six weeks before the beginning of each new class. Two formats for completion of the 20 credit hour (640 class hours) program are offered to students: a one semester day time academy or a two semester evening academy.
The focus of a degree in criminal justice is different from the peace officer skills learned through the academy and the academy credit is not applicable to the degree requirements of the Associate of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice.
