Law Enforcement Training Info Session on July 11

To prepare students for Spring 2024 basic law enforcement training (BLET) course, the program is holding a registration and information session on July 11 in Building 10 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. An instructor will answer questions and hand out packets that applicants must fill out before admission into the program.

The BLET program gives students essential skills for entry-level employment as law enforcement officers with state, county or municipal agencies, or with private enterprise. The program uses state commission-mandated topics and methods of instruction. General subjects include criminal, juvenile, civil, traffic and alcoholic beverage laws; investigative, patrol, custody and court procedures; emergency responses; and ethics and community relations.

Successful graduates receive a certificate and qualify to take certification examinations mandated by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission and/or the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Education and Training Standards Commission.

The next BLET course starts on January 8, 2024. Students can have a law enforcement agency sponsor them, or the program is covered under the Beaufort Promise, meaning that qualified students will have their tuition and fees covered.
