C.O. Reserve Law Enforcement Academy graduation set

The Central Oregon Reserve Law Enforcement Officer Academy will hold commencement exercises for the class of 2019 in the City of Bend Municipal Court at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 1.

The 13 graduates represent six Central Oregon law enforcement agencies including Redmond Police Department, Madras Police Department, Bend Police Department, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, Crook County Sheriff’s Office and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

In successfully completing the 261 hours of academy training, each graduate met established performance standards set by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. The graduates will return to their respective agencies as sworn Reserve Peace Officers and begin their assigned duties under the supervision of a training officer.

This is the first year that the Central Oregon’s Law Enforcement Reserve Academy and Central Oregon Law Enforcement Agencies collaborated with Central Oregon Community College for a distance learning and online approach to their reserve certifications.
