Can anyone attend training at The Academy?
The Academy offers a wide variety of classes from the Basic Police Academy to in-service, probation, fire service, dispatch and corrections courses, and the requirements for entry to each may vary. Therefore, it is advisable to contact The Academy to inquire about prerequisites and class requirements. It is important to note that the State of California specifies that a police officer must be a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident alien who is eligible for and has applied for citizenship, and be at least 18 years of age. Because local agency requirements may also differ from those of the State and one another, it is recommended that those seeking employment contact the agency of interest.
