Basic Peace Officer Certification

Do you have a desire to serve your community? Do you feel called to help drive the positive change society is craving?

A career in law enforcement is a commitment to the service of others, justice, and the greater good.

Communities trust law enforcement officers to maintain the law, combat crime and protect the ideals of justice our country was founded upon. While a career in law enforcement is often stressful and potentially dangerous, it is an incredibly rewarding career with the power to positively impact the communities and lives around you.

Someone with a natural ability to communicate, social awareness, and compassion for others are generally able to leverage those skills to complement their professional training, and ultimately produce a quality law enforcement professional.

If you desire a career you can be proud of, and are motivated by working towards something greater than yourself, you are invited to apply for Pioneer Tech’s Basic Peace Officer Certification Academy.
