Description:
The Modular Police Academy program is currently on hiatus.
The Basic Police Academy (AJ 223) is being offered as usual.
The Basic Police Officer Academy Certificate of Achievement provides all academic and physical skill training and assessment required by the State of California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. It is required training for anyone serving as a peace officer in the state of California. The program provides the opportunity to observe, develop and employ the behavior traits of a professional peace officer in a controlled setting. The Academy is available in two formats: Intensive (20 weeks) and Modular (11 months).
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Identify, define and demonstrate basic tasks of peace officers;
- identify, classify, and apply appropriate provisions of federal and state law related to peace officers;
- perform and document complete preliminary investigations assigned to peace officers; and
- demonstrate the physical skills needed to perform the tasks of a peace officer in the areas of driving, shooting, defensive tactics, and first aid.
