To be eligible for the program, participants must possess a high school diploma or GED, be at least 20 years old, must obtain a certified record check, have no felony convictions, and obtain sponsorship from a North Carolina law enforcement agency.
Students entering the Basic Law Enforcement Training program must meet standards as indicated by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Standards and the North Carolina Sheriff’s Standards Division of the North Carolina Department of Justice.
