Law Enforcement Courses
Accredited courses are approved through Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) for each state. Customizing presentations to the specific needs of the department allows for optimal learning in an interesting and informative environment. States may vary in the number of minimum course work hours required (2 CEs vs. 4 CEs, for example).
