PRE-ACADEMY PREPARATION PROGRAM (PAPP)
ALETA has created a four-week Pre-Academy Preparation Program (PAPP) to acclimate the new Law Enforcement Officer with firearms, department policy, and a physical training regimen prior to attending the Academy.
After many years, we have found that students have less stress, fewer problems, retain information better and perform required physical tasks significantly better, when they have had an opportunity to get somewhat familiar with the job functions of Law Enforcement prior to their first day at the Academy.
Please visit the PRE-ACADEMY PREPARATION page to access resources needed for successful completion of the program.
