2012 Jul 3

Cazenovia College's Phase I Pre-employment Police Training Academy has graduated a new class of future law enforcement officers. Among the 20 graduates who received Phase I Training certificates is Brian J. Fortino of Syracuse, N.Y.

Cazenovia College's Pre-Employment Police Basic Training Program is open to any New York State resident interested in pursuing employment in a police department in New York State. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.

The 2012 – 13 Phase I Pre-Employment Police Basic Training Program begins Sept. 15 on the Cazenovia College campus. Classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and on Saturdays through June 2013. Upon graduation, students are awarded a Certificate of Completion for Phase I. A prospective hiring agency will arrange for completion of Phase II training before a full certificate from DCJS is awarded.

Cazenovia College's Phase I Pre-Employment Police Basic Training Program was established in partnership with the Little Falls Police Department, with approval from the State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), in 2004. The Police Pre-Certification Program curriculum meets all requirements established by the Municipal Police Training Council. This is a unique opportunity for those persons interested in entering the law enforcement field and is the result of several years of planning by the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
