We Are Looking For Military Police Veterans


The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) is in the process of creating a police academy in the State of Michigan just for Military Police or equivalent.  The academy takes into consideration the training the service member or veteran has received in the military.  The program will be a 240 hour program; this condenses the normal academy program by 2/3’s.

Who is eligible?

  •     Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard service members preparing to transition in to civilian life, or are veterans of those branches
  •   Have performed as a military police officer for a minimum of 2080 hours in specified law enforcement occupational specialties (MOS); 
  •      Satisfactorily completed military police training at a federal service school;
  •       Honorable discharge; or currently serving
  •       Have discounted employment for no more than 5 years before the start of the program
  •       Must meet all MCOLES pre-employment standards, which includes passing the physical fitness exam and the reading/writing examination

When will the academy be run?

·         Currently MCOLES is seeking an approved academy to begin late summer of 2013 or fall of 2013.
This program is open to service members and veterans, who meet the eligibility, around the United States who are seeking certification as a law enforcement officer.  Michigan residence is not required.
