Hello ,
Congratulations on taking the first step towards following your passion and career goals by showing interest in our Basic Police Academy!
The first step to enrolling in a Basic Police Academy is passing the physical fitness assessment with the Commander of the academy you wish to enroll. These scheduled assessments cannot be completed more than 150 days prior to an academy start. The day you pass the physical fitness, the Commander will then review all the other enrollment requirements and deadlines to be approved by OPOTA and secure your seat in the academy.
If your academy of interest does not yet have scheduled physical fitness assessments at the link below, save this email and check back as the start date gets closer.
