Our motto: “Professionalism Through Training”
The Basic Police Academy Program is certified by the California Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) and recognized by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
The mission of the Academy is to provide quality training at the recruit level through comprehensive and innovative educational practices. The Academy achieves this mission by offering an interactive and practical course of study which aligns with the procedures outlined by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST).
The primary mission of basic training is to prepare students mentally, morally, and physically to advance into a field-training program and assume the responsibilities and execute the duties of a peace officer in society.
The instruction is directed toward providing a sensitivity to, and understanding of, the role of the officer within the criminal justice system, the employing agency, and the community served.
The Academy realizes that proper policing results from generating an effective balance between energetic, assertive enforcement, and providing justice for the victim, the offender, and society.
