Since 1975, Monroe Community College, through its Public Safety Training Center, in
conjunction with the Monroe County Law Enforcement Council, has offered the New York State
Basic Course for Police Officers to those men and women who have chosen Law Enforcement
as a career. Our mission is to prepare Law Enforcement practitioners for exemplary service
to their agencies and communities.
We offer both Part-Time and Full-Time courses in Basic Police Training that are fully
accredited by the New York State Bureau for Municipal Police, which awards a New York Basic
Police Certificate upon completion.
Course requirements for completion of the basic recruit program are PLE101, PLE102, PLE103, PLE104.
PLE101 - Fundamentals of Policing 13 PLE102 - Police Proficiencies and Procedures 20 PLE103 - The Community and Policing: Serving Special Populations 13 PLE104 - Practicum in Policing 1 ___ Total credits 47
As we close this century and prepare to enter a new millennium, the Public Safety Training
Center will continue to seek new techniques and approaches to delivering this very
challenging program. A tuition academy and use of high tech learning environments are in
the planning stages. We continue to lead the state in training police officers in preparation
for service to their communities.
