Report on the Law Enforcement Training Council SC Criminal Justice Academy
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
Abstract
The SC Law Enforcement Training Council/Criminal Justice Academy is the state’s sole entity providing training for state and local law enforcement agencies. The length of time between the hiring of new officers and enrollment in the Academy and the policy for allocating slots at the Academy is the greatest concern voiced by local law enforcement. The Academy implemented a new training regimen in July 2019 whereby the first four weeks of training are delivered remotely. The agency reported in late August 2019 that this change reduced or eliminated wait times and resulted in slots being allocated in the order requested. Increases in General Fund appropriations by the General Assembly have begun to reduce the agency’s reliance on fines and fees for operating revenues. The Academy has also increased the emphasis on pre-screening applicants to improve completion rates.
