In order to meet the growing needs of our students and law enforcement agencies, The Jefferson College Law Enforcement Academy would like to announce the expansion of our Certificate Only program.

In 2024, the Jefferson College Law Enforcement Academy will be offering a Certificate Part-Time Night class beginning on March 4, 2024; anticipated graduation date of November 14, 2024.  The academy will also offer a Certificate Full Time Day Class that will begin August 19, 2024; and an anticipated graduation date of mid-February 2025.  Both programs will deliver 915 POST training hours.  Upon completion of the program graduates will earn a Missouri Class A Peace Officers License and 40 college credits.  

The mission of the Jefferson College Law Enforcement Academy is to provide quality law enforcement training for both the new law enforcement recruit and the veteran law enforcement officer. The training is designed to provide individuals and agencies with the information and skills needed to meet the needs of the community, develop skills to remain current in information and technology, and to prepare law enforcement officers to successfully respond to the challenges of a diverse society.

The Jefferson College Law Enforcement Academy's ongoing assessment of recruits, law enforcement continuing (in-service) education, programs, and services assures that it will remain a responsive and progressive law enforcement academy.
