An exam will be given at the end of each module. There is no time limit. The Program Certification acknowledges that the successful candidate has mastered the body of knowledge expected of a competent law enforcement executive. The Training Committee of the AACoP will lead in developing training, with help from The University Partnership of Alabama for Continuing Education . Participants will be tested at the end of each module.
Testing is essential to maintaining the integrity of the certification process.
It is documented evidence that participants have a reasonable mastery of the body of knowledge expected of a professional law enforcement executive. One retake is available. When participants express intent to purse certification, we will set them up in a special database to track their progress. Periodically, we will issue transcripts and remind participants which modules are needed to complete certification. An important direct benefit of this certification process is the public prestige of having met a prescribed standard of excellence as a law enforcement professional.
