The 14-week Public Safety Core is mandatory. Students not previously employed in law enforcement are strongly encouraged to also enroll for the 6-week Communications Core. Sessions are offered in both Fall and Spring semesters. The ALET program meets training requirements of the Alaska Police Standards Council for employment as Alaska State Troopers, municipal police officers, fire marshals, airport safety officers, or village public safety officers. Although employment is not guaranteed by the program, over 63% of Alaska Law Enforcement Training graduates are currently working in Alaska as law enforcement officers with public and private agencies. Additional graduates have found professional employment outside Alaska and with federal agencies. Alaska State Park Ranger, Jack Blackwell, Class of 1991 |
