SAN FRANCISCO – Police1.com, the leading online resource for the law enforcement community, is proud to announce that the Police1 Academy, a comprehensive online training platform for law enforcement agencies, can now be used to meet annual requirement outlined by Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training.

Officers in Kansas are required to complete 40 hours of training every year. As an eligible training provider, the Police1 Academy can be used by Departments to satisfy 20 hours of in-service training, reducing the need for travel expenses and overtime of officers.

“The Policeone training academy has proved to be an excellent training tool for our department. It offers a vast amount of training courses that are relevant and applicable to any law enforcement professional” said Sgt. Brandon Tisher, La Plata County Sheriff’s Office. “With budget constraints being a common theme in the law enforcement community, online training is here to stay and Policeone has developed an online training option that is top notch and cost effective.”

The Police1 Academy, which launched in January 2011, now serves almost 300 departments in 40 states, totally more than 18,000 users. Currently the Academy is a certified training provider in Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, and is eligible to be used for training credit in an additional 16 states.

With more than 600 high-definition training videos from leading law enforcement experts, Police1 Academy online training offers departments cost-effective access to top-quality police training for an annual subscription based on agency size. All 600 training videos are accompanied by detailed lesson plans and quizzes, covering topics ranging from active shooter to defensive tactics. The Academy also includes more than 80 one hour courses that qualify individuals for certificates of completion.

“The approval of the Police1 Academy by the state of Kansas is further paving the way for a revolutionized and cost-effective method of training among departments,” said Alex Ford, CEO of Police1. “The rapid growth of the Academy thus far is a testament to the importance of a budget-friendly, quality training solution for departments across the country.”
