This report presents findings on law enforcement recruits, instructors, and types of training at state and local law enforcement training academies in 2018. The tables show statistics on recruits based on sex, race or ethnicity, and whether or not they completed the basic training program. Findings are also provided on the subject areas covered by basic training and average time spent on those subjects and the experience and education of instructors. BJS has also reissued State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies, 2013, using a revised survey weighting methodology.
Findings are based on data from BJS’s Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA), which gathers data on recruits, staff, training curricula, equipment, and facilities from training academies that are responsible for administering mandatory basic training to newly appointed or elected law enforcement officers. These academies are operated by state, county, and municipal agencies and by universities, colleges, and technical schools. Academies that provided only in-service training were excluded from CLETA.
