Edison State Students
Complete Police Training
Edison State Community College’s Peace Officer Academy honored twelve
students on June 12 following their successful completion of the
21-week program.
Students of the program met for six days each week since January,
totaling over 680 hours of training. The curriculum of the program is
certified by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission (OPOTC) and
covers all aspects of law enforcement training including
administration, firearms, subject control, and investigation.
“This group of cadets gelled very quickly, supporting and encouraging
each other along the way,” said Joseph Mahan, Basic Peace Officer
Academy Commander. “I wish them the best in seeking their dream of
becoming a law enforcement officer and their willingness to serve and
protect.”
Edison State offered the first Basic Peace Officer Academy in 2003 and
the class that completed academic requirements this spring was from the
thirty-fourth academy. Throughout its fourteen-year history, the
program has graduated 442 students.
“Many students have become officers throughout the region, though they
are certified to seek an officer position anywhere in the State of
Ohio,” said Mahan.
Academy students can continue their education at Edison State and earn
an associate’s degree by taking classes on campus or online. Those who
have successfully completed the police officer academy will prepare to
take their state certification exam on June 26.
For more information about the upcoming academy, contact Veronica
French at vfrench@edisonohio.edu or 937-778-7865. Those interested in
entering the academy must be 21 years of age and eligible to own a
weapon.
