Law enforcement academy offered at Odessa College
The Odessa College law enforcement/ criminal justice department
is accepting applications for its Law Enforcement Academy, now until Oct.
26.
Classes start Monday, Oct. 29.
OC's Law Enforcement Academy is certified by the Texas Commission on
Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education.
After completion of the academy, students will be certified to take
the state licensure exam for peace officers. They also will earn 22 college
credit hours and a TASP-waived, level-one certificate of completion, according
to Jim McKown, OC department chair and associate professor of law enforcement/criminal
justice.
"Population growth and the increasing problem of crime currently provide
many opportunities for careers in law enforcement," said McKown. "For those
individuals interested in public service, OC's academy offers a challenging
and rewarding course of study."
McKown added that class space is limited and urged students to start
the registration process as soon as possible.
