  Cadets of the U.S. Air Force Police attend a 10-week training academy (formerly 6 weeks) at the Department of Veterans Affairs Law Enforcement Training Center (LETC) in Little Rock, Arkansas. This is an Air Force-specific course that does not certify officers to work on Veteran's Administration properties, only Air Force installations.
