Overview Law Enforcement Academy In Service Detentions Training Unit Weapons Training Unit Range Project |  |
The San Diego Regional Law Enforcement Academy is located at the San Diego Regional Public Safety Training Institute (SDRPSTI) on the campus of Miramar College. Miramar College is one of the three main campuses of the San Diego Community College District.
The San Diego Regional Public Safety Training Institute provides law enforcement training and education for 18 incorporated cities, including the State University Police, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the San Diego County Probation Department, San Diego Port Authority, the Department of Insurance, the Harbor Police Department, and the Community College District Police. Limited training is conducted for the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office and the federal agency local offices of the DEA, FBI, INS, and Border Patrol.
SDRPSTI is also
the home of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Detentions & Court
Services Academy. Academy classes are
scheduled based on the needs of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. These
academies are 16 weeks in le
ngth,
with classes averaging 40 students.
Under a regionalized structure, law enforcement recruits from every agency in San Diego County and beyond attend courses at the Regional Academy. The Sheriff’s Department has one lieutenant, one sergeant, and two deputies assigned to the academy. Other user agencies also provide supervisory and training personnel.
Staff and faculty work closely with the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), local agency users, and the Community College District to ensure standardization and the highest level of professional training. As stakeholders, our regional agency users, academy staff, and the College District have dedicated themselves to working cooperatively to meet that goal.
The Basic Academy Course curriculum is reviewed and approved by the Miramar College Curriculum Committee.
The 25-week Basic Course is currently certified at Miramar College as a 27.5 unit course. Successful completion results in the awarding of a California Basic P.O.S.T. certificate when combined with one year law enforcement service.
A new academy consisting of between 30 and 90 recruits starts every six months. Academy classes are held Monday through Friday, 7:00 to 3:30.
