How lenient is CJI on attendance if I have schedule conflicts?
Because police academies deliver training in a unique profession that carries a great deal of liability, attendance is mandatory. Lawsuits filed against law enforcement agencies and officers typically deal with training issues. For this reason, the academy requires, without exception, that you attend 95 percent of all classroom instruction and 100 percent of all tactical “hands-on” training. Failure to meet these attendance requirements can result in termination from the program.
