Yes, many of our training programs are accredited by reputable accrediting bodies or recognized by relevant industry organizations. This ensures that the courses you take through American Police Training are of the highest quality and meet the standards necessary for professional development in law enforcement.

Understanding Accreditation

Accreditation signifies that a training program has been evaluated and meets specific criteria set by an accrediting organization. These criteria ensure that the training is comprehensive, current, and effective in enhancing the skills and knowledge of law enforcement professionals.

Specific Accreditations

Each training program's details on our website clearly note the specific accreditations and certifications associated with it. For example:

  • Radar Recertification (TCOLE# 2054)
  • Tire Deflation Devices (TCOLE #3104)
  • TCOLE Basic Instructor (TCOLE #1014)

These courses comply with the standards set by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE).

Reporting to State Commissions

Most training available on AmericanPoliceTraining.com is reported to state commissions on law enforcement. Each training page specifically notes:

  • Reporting Details: Whether the training will be reported and to which state commission.
  • Continuing Education Credits: The number of credits the course will provide.
  • Course Reporting Number: The official reporting number for the course.

Out-of-Agency Training

Some state commissions allow officers or their employing agency to report out-of-agency training. It is crucial for individual officers to ensure that such training is properly reported. This involves:

  • Documentation: Keeping accurate records of completed training.
  • Submission Procedures: Following your state commission’s procedures for submitting these records.

Special Considerations for Tribal Police

Tribal police often have their own accreditation authorities and policies. Tribal law enforcement officers should consult their respective governing bodies to confirm the accreditation and credit eligibility of their training programs.

Enhancing Professional Skills
