⭐ Train Today. Lead Tomorrow. Serve Always. ⭐

This week we had the pleasure of hosting a G***k Armorer Course with 36 students from across the region! It was a great day of learning, networking, and sharpening skills with an outstanding group.

A huge thank you to Layne’s Chicken Fingers for taking care of lunch for everyone. They not only catered for all of our students and instructors, but also gave us an incredibly generous discount. The food was fantastic and greatly appreciated by the entire class! 🍗👏

We’re grateful for the support from local businesses and everyone who helped make the day a success.

Welcome, Class #50!

The Gus George Law Enforcement Academy is proud to begin this milestone journey with our historic 50th cadet class — the first to train at our new Regional Training Facility.

Over the next six months, these cadets will dedicate themselves to rigorous training as they work to earn their Basic Peace Officer License. Through discipline, teamwork, and hands-on instruction, they’ll develop the skills needed to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and protect the communities they’ve sworn to uphold.

We’re excited to watch Class 50 grow, learn, and rise to meet the calling of public service.
