Monthly Law Enforcement Training Orientations Online | Eastern NC Now

Press Release:


    Beaufort County Community College will hold monthly orientation sessions for students interested in joining its fall Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET). These trainings will take place as an online Zoom session where applicants can ask questions and get help filling out their application packet for the fall 2020 BLET academy starting August 17.

    The first session will take place on May 20, with later sessions on June 24 and July 29. Participants will need to first contact Larry Barnes at 252-940-6228 or larry.barnes@beaufortccc.edu to get signed up for a session.

    The BLET program is designed to give students essential skills required for entry-level employment as law enforcement officers with state, county or municipal governments, or with private enterprise. Some previous graduates have even gained conditional employment while going through the program. Students will get to practice vehicle maneuvers on BCCC's new driving pad.

    The program uses state commission-mandated topics including criminal, juvenile, civil, traffic and alcoholic beverage laws; investigative, patrol, custody and court procedures; emergency responses; and ethics and community relations.

    Successful graduates receive a certificate and are qualified to take certification examinations mandated by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission and/or the North Carolina Sheriffs' Education and Training Standards Commission.
