Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

SLCC Law Enforcement Academy Graduation

In celebration of National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day on January 9, we invite you to learn more about SLCC’s Law Enforcement Academy at our Miller Campus. Salt Lake Community College has been instrumental in training and shaping hundreds of law enforcement officers in the State of Utah since the academy's conception in 1987.

SLCC's Law Enforcement Academy allows cadets to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their field and graduate. Many cadets return to SLCC to further their education and continue advancing within law enforcement.

Sergeant Richard Montanez, who gets to interact with the SLCC Academy cadets and evaluate and monitor their progress, says that an average of 75 percent of cadets get placed in a job before they graduate from the academy. "There is a job for everyone in this field out there. It may not be where they want it now, but I am confident they will get there with hard work," says Sergeant Montanez.

Cadets at the academy obtain hands-on learning experience, mentorship, and guidance from their instructors with years of expertise in their field, making their learning education invaluable. "Our goal is not only to impart knowledge to the cadets but encourage them and empower them to believe in themselves and remind them of the importance of this role in our community," says Sergeant Montanez.

The two-semester program covers a wide range of topics that prepare and set the cadets for success in an entry-level position within the field. The program is based at the SLCC Miller Campus, with evening classes to ensure that those with full-time jobs and busy family schedules can pursue their dreams of becoming a law enforcement officer. Financial Aid is available for students.
