<p>The Academy is a 30-week program with approximately 1146 hours of training. Our standards are well above the California P.O.S.T minimum standards for Police Recruit Officer training. The training is conducted during the weekdays from either 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, or 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with some training conducted after hours and on weekends. The Academy is not a “live-in” facility; Police Recruit Officers will be required to find their own living arrangements and daily transportation.</p>
