Each Instructor is trained at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. To be a Certified Instructor you must take a forty hour training class for instructors. If you wish to be a Certified Instructor in Firearms or Physical Tactics you much complete a forty hour course in each topic. After completing the courses you are considered to be a Psychomotor Skills Instructor. There are other Instructor courses such as Emergency Vehicle Operations, ASP Instructor and OC/CN Instructor ect.. Each Instructor must teach a minimum of twelve hours a year to keep his/her certification. If he/she is certified in more than one course, he/she must have twelve hours of training time in each course per year.

Officer Training

Each Full-Time Officer must attend a 480 hour Basic course at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. The Officer is then required to have several hours of In-Service training each year. These hours are mandated by Indiana State Law. This Training consists of courses in Firearms, Domestic Violence, Blood borne Pathogens, SIDS and Hazardous Materials. Other courses may be added as deemed necessary to obtain the required training. A Reserve Officer has to complete a forty hour Pre-Basic Course. He must ride with a Full-Time Officer for approximately one hundred hours of Field Training. After each tour of duty a Reserve Officer completes with a Full-Time Officer, he or she is then evaluated by that Officer. When the Reserve Officer has completed his one hundred hours of Field Training and the evaluating Officers feel that they are ready to be on their own, they are released to patrol solo. Almost all training is provided in-house by our instructors.
