LAW ENFORCEMENT
The law enforcement program is a full-time, rigorous and highly structured program offered in cooperation with the Alaska Public Safety Academy. The program is a pre-employment curriculum comparable to training offered in municipal police officer training academies. The program is also recognized by the National Park Service as meeting training requirements for seasonal law enforcement officers.
ADMISSIONS
Students must meet all criteria established for admission to the Academy, and must abide by Academy rules and regulations. Students are required to reside at the Academy while completing the 12 credit Justice course requirement. Students may reside at the Student Campus Residence Hall while completing the required English and speech courses at the Sitka campus during an intensive 6-week program which precedes the Academy course work. Alternately, students may transfer the required English and speech courses from other institutions. No portion of the Justice course work may be transferred from another institution.
