College of the Redwoods will offer a Basic Law Enforcement Academy class starting in July of 2020. The program begins on July 6 and continues until December 11. 

The college is actively looking for more cadets. Cadets will have to take and pass a PELLETB test prior to starting the Academy.  

“We normally start monthly group testing in March, but because of COVID, we weren’t able to do that” said Basic Academy Coordinator Sandi Petersen.  “Instead, we are hosting weekly small batch testing sessions between 9-4. So, if folks are interested in the July class, they need to call our office ASAP and get in here and be tested.  We will be utilizing all the social distancing requirements during testing.”

Students can find more information about the Basic Academy at https://www.redwoods.edu/cte/aj/blea, or call the office at 707-476-4334.
