Program Delivery

Program Highlights

The Law Enforcement Academy prepares students for a career in law enforcement in the state of Alaska. Alaska Police Standards Council certification will allow qualified candidates to work as a commissioned officer in any of approximately 65 state and municipal law enforcement organizations.

The certification is approved by the Alaska Police Standards Council in compliance with Title 13.85.050 of the Alaska Administrative Code. Courses are not offered separately but must be taken as part of the entire Law Enforcement Academy package.

Other Details

Students will be expected to maintain a sufficient degree of physical conditioning in order to participate successfully in classes that cover topics such as physical arrest, weapons retention, and handcuffing. In addition, most police departments in the state require applicants to pass a basic physical proficiency test prior to being hired.

Special admission, licensing, or certification requirements may apply to students in this program. Applicants should familiarize themselves with these and speak with a program advisor if they have any questions or concerns.
