HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Accreditation: We’re a CLEET-accredited technology center. This means you’re getting top-tier training that meets all state requirements.

Real-World Prep: Our training isn’t just about textbooks. Expect hands-on sessions that prepare you for real-life policing. You’ll learn through practical exercises and rigorous physical training.

Evaluation: We make sure you’re ready. This means practical exams, written tests (you’ll need at least a 75% score in most areas, and 80% in a few key ones), and physical fitness assessments.
