The Pathways to Policing program is now offering a unique employment opportunity for those looking to enter the law enforcement field. A bulletin released by St. Louis Park, MN announced full-time accelerated police training for eligible candidates, which allows them to earn a full-time wage along with benefits while attending an accelerated, four-month training program.

According to St. Louis Park, MN, after completing the training, trainees must successfully pass the Peace Officers Standards Training (POST) exam to transition to full-time sworn police officer positions within the participating agencies.

The program is specifically tailored to aid individuals who are interested in a policing career but might not have had the chance to quickly attend a two-year public safety program. It aims to smoothly remove financial and time barriers that can often deter potential candidates from following their law enforcement aspirations. All candidates with either a two or four-year college degree, in any area of study, are encouraged to apply, with no previous law enforcement training or experience needed, as per St. Louis Park, MN.

Aspiring applicants have until July 28 to apply online and potentially be part of a new wave of law enforcement professionals. For more information and to hear from recent program graduates on the impact and experiences they've had, potential applicants can explore further details on the program through the provided online portal.
