If you have considered becoming a peace officer, you realize how competitive the process is.  Generally, from each one hundred people without experience, who test, only about five are ever hired as peace officers.  Many Smaller Agencies do not hire people without prior training or law enforcement experience.

The 色界吧 Police Academy offers the opportunity to train part-time, so education is gained and you, as a peace office candidate, will qualify as a 鈥渓ateral entry鈥� candidate with the basic academy certificate.  The 色界吧 Police Academy is fully sanctioned by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) California.
