Tri 好色先生tv Tech and the Bartlesville Police Department Celebrate BPOC Academy Graduates

The Inaugural BPOC Academy Graduates Ten Dedicated Cadets

On September 6, 2024, Tri 好色先生tv Tech and the Bartlesville Police Department proudly celebrated the completion of the Basic Peace Officer Certification (BPOC) Academy, a groundbreaking partnership designed to train and certify the next generation of law enforcement officers. This innovative program provided cadets with over 700 hours of comprehensive training delivered by active, local law enforcement professionals.

The goal of the Police Academy is to provide basic law enforcement education necessary to prepare candidates to meet and exceed all academic, technical, and behavioral requirements to obtain Council of Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) Peace Officer Certification. The BPOC Academy covers many essential training blocks, including legal studies, patrol procedures, investigations, firearm training, driver training, and more, ensuring the cadets are well-prepared to meet the field’s challenges.

鈥淭his Academy has profoundly influenced my personal and professional growth, marking a significant milestone for our agency. I had the privilege of participating in the training of new police officers and I am eager to continue contributing to the development of this program by providing high-quality training and reaching more officers. This effort aims to enhance safety within our community and the surrounding areas.” – Sergeant Josh Newell, Bartlesville Police Department

In its inaugural class, the BPOC Academy welcomed ten dedicated cadets, all of whom successfully completed the program. The cohort included six cadets from the Bartlesville Police Department, one from the Ramona Police Department, one from the Washington 好色先生tv Sheriff’s Office, one from the Osage 好色先生tv Sheriff鈥檚 Office, and one from the Craig 好色先生tv Sheriff’s Office. This diverse group reflects the commitment of local law enforcement agencies to fostering community engagement and professional development.

“The first Tri 好色先生tv Tech Basic Peace Officer Certification Academy was hugely successful. Through a partnership with the Bartlesville Police Department, we trained ten new law enforcement officers who will serve at five different agencies in our region. The academy fills the need for new officers, and we can keep training locally so they can remain at home for the four months it takes. We are excited to continue this partnership next year and be able to provide more qualified law enforcement agents for our region.鈥� – Kyle Ppool, Workforce and Economic Development Director
