The Police Academy curriculum is over 850 hours in length. You will be required to demonstrate
via written and physical skill testing proficiency in seven areas:
- Investigations and law
- Patrol procedures
- Detention and prosecution
- Police skills
- Traffic enforcement
- Special operations
- Computer/internet skills
Physical skill areas will be your greatest challenge! Physical skill components are:
- Firearms
- First Aid
- Emergency Vehicle Operations
- Subject Control (Defensive Tactics)
- Physical Training
If failures occur in our Police Academy, they most often occur in the skill areas. The specific
skill requirements are:
- Firearms – qualify with a handgun, shotgun, and patrol rifle in full and lowlight conditions
at distances up to 15 yards and demonstrate safe handling techniques, along with passing a
written test
- First Aid – pass written tests and demonstrate physical mastery of first aid techniques
- Emergency Vehicle Operations (formerly known as Precision Driving) – pass a written
test and pass within existing norms six driving exercises
- Subject Control Techniques (formerly known as Defensive Tactics) – pass a written test
and demonstrate skill mastery of thirteen dimensions of the MCOLES subject control curriculum
- Physical Training – pass a written test and participate in the entire physical training
curriculum. You must pass a physical test at an exit level established by MCOLES
All of the skill areas have mandated remediation and re-test protocols.
