Law Enforcement Training
The Law Enforcement Training department offers comprehensive programs designed to enhance the performances of certified law enforcement officers, providing quality up-to-date training for law enforcement officers, law enforcement supervisors and chief executives, basic security officers, security guard supervisors, communications dispatchers, jail officers, and jail administrators. The department is committed to offering the law enforcement community timely, relevant and professional training commensurate with established mandates of the Sheriff's Commission, the North Carolina Training and Standards Commission and/or the Private Protective Services Board. Course offerings are conducted by staff and a carefully selected group of experienced police and security officer trainers who constitute the adjunct faculty.
Quality service and professionalism earmark the relationship between the law enforcement department and its broad law enforcement and security client base.
The objective of the program is to offer the latest and most effective training available. The department continually updates and revises existing programs and activity seeking to add new course offerings in response to contemporary training demands. Input from local, state and federal agencies, changes in crime trend and the request for specialized programs are significant in course development and offerings.
The program is designed to enable students to do the best possible job of protecting the citizens of this county, their fellow officers and themselves.
The Basic Law Enforcement Training Academy (BLET) program allows the admission of students who are interested in pursuing law enforcement careers as police officers and Deputy Sheriff's in the State of North Carolina. Students must pass a comprehensive written examination offered by the North Carolina Training and Standards Commission prior to course completion.
Courses are offered on campus, at Ft. Bragg and Pope Air Force Base, at Fayetteville State University, Methodist University and other selected locations or at municipal police departments within Cumberland County and the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department.
The majority of the course offerings are restricted to law enforcement or emergency services personnel. Some security course offerings are open to the general public, with the state prescribed registration fee required. Law enforcement officers, and other emergency services personnel who are training to enhance their performance are exempt from tuition.
A comprehensive introductory law enforcement training program (non-certified) and other law enforcement programs are offered at Ft. Bragg and Pope Air Force Base. The introductory course is designed primarily to prepare the prospective law enforcement officer for entry into and successful completion of the Basic Law Enforcement Training Academy.
