 the agency's training officer.

                                                             APPROPRIATE TRAINING

         The Calendar is broken up by courses.  The Agency has the flexibility to determine if the course  as described is appropriate for the Officer. 

     Courses are not "restricted" as only Law Enforcement, or only Jailor. If you have questions as to if the class you are in enrolling in is appropriate for your function(s), please contact the Academy.

     The majority of classes taught at the Academy are appropriate for each function that DCJS carries, (LE=Law Enforcement, J=Jailor, and CS/CP=Court Security & Civil Process); most classes held at the Academy offer multiple types of Credit. 

Please ensure that the class you are taking will count toward your particular job function(s) as listed with DCJS. (LE=Law Enforcement, J=Jailor, and CS/CP=Court Security & Civil Process)

    Each class also has the type of In-Service that the class will receive: CD=Career Development, CU=Cultural Diversity and L=Legal.

     Course listings  for 2010 include forty-hour (40) courses and additional elective courses of four (4), eight (8), twelve (12), sixteen (16), twenty-four (24), or thirty-two (32) hours in length. 

                                                  MINIMUM CREDIT HOURS NEEDED

      By Function, this is the minimum of what each type needs:

Career Development         Cultural Diversity               Legal

TESTING

     Testing is now an integral part of all Academy Training. Officers attending the Academy should anticipate that material presented during the course is subject to testing and their individual performance evaluated. 

     Guidelines of testing will be provided to classes here at the Academy as needed

MISC

       By accessing the online calendar and then printing it off if desired, it allows an agency to visually compare if one training course overlaps with another, which may create a personnel problem by other officers attending training courses during the same period.

      In a continued effort to bring quality training to the area some of these classes may have additional fees related to them.  If you are interested in these classes, or if additional fees apply, please contact the Academy. 

                                                                         OFFICER DUE DATE

      It is possible for an officer to complete the mandatory In-Service training requirements by attending classes in a block of instruction, or in several individual classes through out the two-year cycle. 

     As long as an officer completes the required hours of approved In-Service training, has successfully completed annual firearms qualification, he/she has met the mandatory DCJS In-Service requirements. 

                             Please ensure that In-Service is completed prior to the officer's due date.
