This is an online course self-paced and
can be completed over a 5-week period. There are ten different
learning modules, one of which requires students to attend a workshop at
police academy on campus. This workshop is available once per
month (typically the first Saturday of the month) on
the same day as this online course begins.
The other learning modules require students to read various academy
related publications, review websites, and submit written assignments
intended to help students assess their own readiness. Students
earn .5 units of college credit for successfully completing this course.
The cost of this course is $17.00 including all college registration
fees.

This course is open to anyone eligible to
enroll in a college course including high school students. It is
ideal for everyone considering a career in law enforcement. The

attend the basic police academy including those who will be sponsored by
a law enforcement agency. The key to being successful in the basic
police academy is preparation before the first day.
