Due to COVID-19, the Basic Law Enforcement Academy shut down and announced an adjusted training schedule.
The campus of the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) closed on March 16. Since the closure, no recruit or staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. The CJTC expects to reopen its Spokane facility in early May, allowing many recruits to complete their training within a month of their originally scheduled graduation dates.
By the end of this summer, the CJTC expects to be back on the planned 2020-2021 schedule and be able to deliver all 21 planned classes through July 2021. Please check the CJTC website for further information.
