New CJTP Course Offering
Temple University CJTP will be conducting a Method of Instructions course the week of Oct. 28. The class will be conducted at the Bucks County Public Safety Center and will meet Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700 hours. This course is designed for current law enforcement officers who are tasked with conducting in-house training or who plan on becoming MPOETC instructors. Topics that will be covered include classroom management, understanding how different students learn in different ways and how to adapt as the instructor, writing and using lesson plans, use of different teaching tools and technology, and class preparation. For registration or questions, contact Rich Vona Bucks County Public Safety at rlvona@buckscounty.org.
Seasonal Law Enforcement Training Program Update
The National Park Service has officially changed the name of the Seasonal Law Enforcement Training Program to Park Ranger Law Enforcement Academy. There are no changes to the academy—same requirements, same number of training hours, same curriculum. It will take some time to make the name change on digital media, paperwork, applications, etc. Please be patient while we make these updates. The park service also introduced a new academy emblem to reflect the name change.
