Training

American Police Training partners with various law enforcement agencies and training providers to offer a wide range of training courses. These agencies and providers often provide the instructors for the courses, who are typically active law enforcement officers with current training and practical experience in the topics being taught. This ensures that the training is relevant and up-to-date with the latest practices and techniques. In addition, some of the instructors may also be retired law enforcement officers, who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the training. The instructors are carefully selected by the agencies and providers hosting the training, and they undergo a rigorous vetting process to ensure their qualifications and experience meet the standards required for the courses they will be teaching. After each training session, students are given the opportunity to provide feedback on their experience, including the instructor's performance. We use this feedback to continually evaluate our instructors and make any necessary improvements to training programs.

Yes, instructor attached files and documents are available for 30 days after the training has ended. Users can download the files before they are removed from the website. However, please note that we do not hold onto training documents indefinitely because training and practices evolve, and we want to ensure that we are not distributing outdated information. After the 30-day period, the files are no longer available for download. It's important to keep in mind that the training material provided on our website is intended for educational purposes only, and not intended to be used as legal advice or guidance. If you have any questions about the material covered in a training course, we recommend that you reach out to your agency training coordinator or a qualified legal professional for further guidance.

We value feedback from our users, and we offer an end-of-training evaluation system to collect it. After completing a training course, users have the opportunity to provide feedback on the course content, instructor effectiveness, and venue. Evaluations are also submitted on the training provider itself. We take feedback seriously and use it to make improvements to our training offerings. Our team reviews all evaluations to ensure that the highest standards are met, and we make adjustments as necessary to continuously improve the training experience for our users. We encourage all users to provide feedback on their training experience, as it helps us to ensure that our training is meeting the needs of law enforcement professionals.

Regarding retaking a course, it is up to the discretion of the training provider whether they will allow a participant to retake a course. Some providers may offer a discounted rate for participants who need to retake a course, while others may not allow retakes at all. It's important to check with the specific provider to determine their policy on retaking courses. It's also important to note that refunds are not typically granted on the basis of failing a course or not passing an exam. However, some providers may have specific policies in place for refunds or rescheduling in the event of extenuating circumstances. It's best to review the provider's policies prior to registering for a course to ensure you understand the terms and conditions.

We understand that many law enforcement agencies have personnel who are not commissioned peace officers but still require specialized training. That's why we offer a variety of courses and training opportunities for non-commissioned law enforcement agency personnel. Some of the training courses available for non-commissioned personnel include courses on investigations, evidence collection, crime scene processing, and many other areas that are essential to law enforcement work. These courses are specifically designed to help non-commissioned personnel build their skills and knowledge, and to help them better serve their agencies and communities.

This allows students to prepare in advance and ensures they can complete the training on the device of their choice.

We're sorry, but we cannot transfer registrations from one course to another or to a different person. This is because we host training courses from a variety of training providers, each with their own policies and registration procedures. If you are unable to attend a course you registered for, you will need to cancel your registration and sign up for a new course.

It is important to note that certificates are only available for completed courses and are not generated for courses that have not been finished. We understand the importance of having documentation of completed training, and we make it easy for users to access and download their certificates at their convenience.

We strongly advise users to consult with their agency's training coordinator to accurately determine if a training course meets their state's training requirements. Every state and agency has different training requirements and reporting processes, so it's important to clarify this information before enrolling in a course. Additionally, users should talk to their training coordinator about their policy and process for reporting out of agency training. This will ensure that the training is appropriately recorded and that the user receives credit for completing the course.

Cost can be a significant factor when it comes to accessing law enforcement training. The cost of training can vary widely depending on a variety of factors, such as the length of the training, the expertise of the trainers, and the location of the training.

While we do not control the cost of training, we do everything we can to promote free training options to our users. We believe that high-quality law enforcement training should be accessible to all officers, regardless of their financial situation. That's why we prioritize promoting free training options to our users, and work with training providers to make their free training more visible on our platform. Additionally, we offer a variety of free resources, such as our online library of training materials and our discussion forums, to help officers continue their education and development even when they cannot attend in-person training.
