The Mission of our Peace Officer Standards and Training programs is to prepare students mentally, physically, morally and ethically to pursue a career and the responsibilities and duties as full-time or part-time Reserve and/or Peace Officers. The training meets or exceeds the requirements of California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, provides testing, and ensures the students graduate with the character, knowledge, problem solving abilities, human relations skills, communication skills and physical skills necessary to meet the professional standards required of a Reserve and/or Peace Officer.
The Imperial Valley College has certification by the State of California, Commission of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), to provide Peace Officer Training in the Regular Basic Course (RBC) Modular format.
IVC Public Safety Training
Many of our Regular Basic Course (RBC) Modular Format Graduates work/volunteer as Reserve Officers for local law enforcement agencies as a supplement to the full-time Peace Officer. Reserve Officers are professionally trained and duly sworn law enforcement personnel, they are generally recruited by an agency during, or after successful completion of a California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) certified academy. Our Regular Basic Course (RBC) classes are taught by local law enforcement personnel who look for recruits in each Academy class.
Test scores and completion of course records are submitted to The California Commission on Police Officer Standard of Training (POST)
