Contact the college administration offices and ask about credit for police training. Each college and university will have different requirements to receive credits and some might not offer credit for police training. The administrative office will have information about the specific programs and credit the school offers to police or police in training.
Read through the information from the school about the specific programs. Depending on the college, the number of credits offered for the training and the type of credits given will vary. Credits in most colleges that offer credit for police training is either 15 or 16 credits. Credit types will vary depending on the school. Some schools will only give credit for elective classes while others will allow some credits for general education.
Look at the specific police training program. Some programs, such as Pennsylvania's Act 120 or Miami Police College, will offer college credits through the program for officers that opt for the credit. Other programs will not have credits already available and are dependent on the college instead. If the program offers college credits as well as police training certification, the number of credits and type of credits awarded is through the program and made available to police in training beforehand.
