If you promise to learn, we promise to provide you with a high quality,
challenging educational experience. – Ralph Galvin, Director
The Washtenaw Community College Police Academy has been an integral part of the community college's
criminal justice program since 1987. WCC has placed thousands of police officers into the ranks of
Michigan's criminal justice system. Many graduates have gone onto higher ranks and have been accepted
into numerous federal agencies. Please be advised that the police academy is a full-time program that
averages six days a week, 12 hours a day, for 20 straight weeks.

- Are you physically, mentally, and emotionally fit?
- Can you exercise sound, mature judgment?
- Do you like working in a diverse setting?
- Do you enjoy working with and meeting people?
- Can you personally handle emotional strife involving yourself and others?
- People expect you to be an honest and ethical individual, are you?
- People will expect you to solve problems without bias, can you?
- Are you self-disciplined to the point that you can take constructive criticism from the
training staff and often harsh criticism from the public?
- Can you exercise self-restraint in the face of great challenges?
- Can you work independently?
- Law Enforcement involves team work. Can you function as a productive team member?
- Are you prepared to confront life threatening situations?
If your answer to any of these questions is no, a career in law enforcement may not
be for you!
