Associate degree in Law Enforcement (AAS) at Alexandria Technical College

The Law Enforcement program is designed to give the prospective peace officer the academic and “hands-on” skills training necessary to qualify for licensure in Minnesota. Both the academic training and clinical skills training are integrated and offered on campus. Interested students must meet all of the following admission requirements: provide the college with a copy of their driving record and a completed criminal background form, and participate in a psychological evaluation, a staff interview, a physical agility evaluation, and a medical exam. Academic advising is incorporated in the staff interview and will help determine if a student would be most successful in the program’s two- or three-year track. Upon completion of the program, students will have received the academic and skills training needed to take the Minnesota Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) exam.
