BASIC LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING
Certificate Program
GENERAL INFORMATION
Prior to acceptance into Cape Fear Community College's Basic Law Enforcement Program you must meet the following criteria:
- Be at least 20 years of age, minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent
- Have a valid North Carolina driver's license at time of orientation
- Obtain a letter of sponsorship from a Criminal Justice Agency of the State of North Carolina
- May not have committed or been convicted of a felony as defined in the NC Administrative Code, Title 12, Sub-Chapter 9-B, as revised, or serious misdemeanor.
A letter of sponsorship waives the tuition fee and allows your name to be entered on the list for the prospective class roster. A letter of sponsorship does not guarantee a position with the sponsoring agency. A maximum of 24 students is allowed for each class. If a class is full, applications will be placed on a waiting list for that class.
It becomes the responsibility of the person on the waiting list to contact and inform the BLET department that they wish to be on the next prospective class roster. If you are on the class roster but fail to report for registration, a space in a future class will not be held unless you contact the BLET department and then your name goes onto the list without priority.
The student is responsible for books and uniforms. (See UNIFORMS/BOOKS/FEES.)
The course is 624 hours. Upon completion of the course, a State exam is administered for certification that is good for one year from date of State exam. DESCRIPTION OF COURSE HOURS
Note: Priority admission to any BLET class shall be given to individuals holding full-time employment with a NC Criminal Justice Agency.
