BJS Releases State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies’ Training Topics and Instructors, 2022 – Statistical Tables
The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs, today released State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies’ Training Topics and Instructors, 2022 – Statistical Tables. This report describes the number and types of basic training curricula of state and local law enforcement training academies in the United States in 2022. Findings in the report are based primarily on BJS’s 2022 Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA), the fifth iteration of the data collection.
Conducted periodically since 2002, CLETA collects information from training academies that are responsible for administering mandatory basic training to newly appointed or elected law enforcement officers on recruits, staff, training curricula, equipment, and facilities. These academies are operated by state, regional, county, and municipal agencies and by universities, colleges, and technical schools. Academies that provide only in-service training are excluded from CLETA.
