Criminal Justice Education and Training

- Basic Police Academy
- Adult Corrections Academy
- 832PC Arrest Course

This action DOES NOT apply to or have any impact on Administration of Justice (ADMJ) courses, degree programs, or certificate programs.
With the suspension of the Criminal Justice Training Center, the Administration of Justice Department will assume responsibility for presenting a select list of in-service law enforcement training classes effective July 1, 2022. As of this date, the department will be known as the “Department of Criminal Justice Education and Training.”
