New Mexico Junior College and Southeastern New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy are committed to providing superior academic and vocational training for those individuals pursuing careers in public safety. We conduct sanctioned training academies for individuals interested in achieving state certifications as Law Enforcement Officers and also offer certification by waiver for experienced Law Enforcement Officers (schedule subject to demand).
These training academies are full-time programs structured around state mandated competencies. All instructional areas are taught by experienced and certified personnel, including line officers, superiors, criminal justice educators, and other state certified professional trainers in specialized topical areas. Upon completion of the Basic Police Officer Training Academy, individuals will receive NMJC college credit hours that can be applied to either an Associates in Arts or an Associates in Applied Science.
