Local law enforcement agencies are actively recruiting, each with its own hiring process. To become a sponsored cadet, you must first be hired or endorsed by a participating agency. That agency will then sponsor you for academy enrollment.
Follow the instructions below to apply to the Aims Basic Peace Officer Academy Certificate program.
Step One: Apply to Aims Community College.
Step Two: Complete and submit your Peace Officer Academy application.
The Aims Peace Officer Academy is currently accepting only sponsored cadets. This means you must be hired by or formally sponsored through a law enforcement agency to attend. We are not accepting non-sponsored applicants at this time.
A sponsored cadet is a candidate selected by a law enforcement agency to attend the academy, often as part of a conditional offer of employment. The agency may cover tuition and other associated costs.
We're here to help.
Contact the department at crj@aims.edu with any questions about the academy or application process.
