Program Requirements 和 Mission:
The 警察科学 program, also known as the Basic Law Enforcement Academy, is the training preparation for anyone seeking a career as a California sworn police officer. It is administered by the 澳门皇家赌城在线 County Sheriff’s Department in collaboration with the 澳门皇家赌城在线 County Community College 区 (澳门皇家赌城在线大学).
It is the mission of the RBC "to prepare entry-level law enforcement trainees mentally, 在道德上, emotionally 和 physically for entry into a field training program, assume the responsibilities, 和 execute the duties of a peace officer in society."
The program includes a 2-week orientation 和 preparation course, followed by a 24-week 警察科学 course referred to as the Basic Law Enforcement Academy. 学院, which is more formally called the Regular Basic Course or RBC, is certified by the California Commission on Peace Officer St和ards 和 Training (POST).
学院 is presented in an intensive format; 5 days per week, 8 hours per day, for 24 weeks. Successful completion of the program is required by POST for all new law enforcement officers in the state of California.
学院 Program is open to law enforcement agency new hires 和 the general public who meet the program requirements outlined in the program information below.

Contact the Post Basic Academy Liaison at (805) 289-6316 with any questions regarding these procedures.
Why are there two pre-academy 和 two academy courses?
学院 Program courses can be taken either for college credit or as noncredit courses. Either option meets the agency requirements for new hires. All students have the options below:
- POSC V01A Pre-Academy (3.5 units) 和 POSC V01 Academy (32 units) – credit courses with st和ard tuition rates. Tuition costs may be found on the 澳门皇家赌城在线大学 website: http://6il.lplnassoc.com/apply-and-enroll/paying-for-college/fees Some students may qualify for the VC Promise that could cover some of their tuition costs. You are encouraged to contact the 澳门皇家赌城在线大学 financial aid department for more information. http://6il.lplnassoc.com/departments/student-services/financial-aid
OR
- POSC N101A Pre-Academy 和 POSC N101 Academy – noncredit. These courses do not earn college credit. There are no tuition costs or additional college fees for this option.
Before deciding about which path to take, please consider the points below. It is highly recommended that you consult with a VC academic counselor to review the options that are best for your situation. Information about contacting a counselor is listed below.
The advantage of the credit courses is that you will earn a Certificate of Achievement if you successfully complete both credit classes. If you also complete general education courses or have completed those when you earned a different degree (GE requirements don’t have to be repeated), you will earn an 理学副学士 degree. This may be important not only for your future goals but could possibly lead to a pay differential with an agency, depending upon their salary policies.
The advantage of noncredit courses is that there aren’t any tuition costs. These courses are also repeatable, should you not complete the classes for whatever reason. The downside of this option is that you cannot change your mind. Once you take the class as noncredit, you cannot “convert” it to credit. So, the decision is very important from the beginning.
We can’t stress this enough: Consult with a VC academic counselor who can help you sort out the best option for your particular situation. The link below will explain all options for reaching a counselor.
