The Kenneth C. Thompson Institute
of Public Safety offers Advanced and Specialized training
classes on an on-going basis. Please read the information
below before applying for a class.
Pre-Registration
for Advanced/Specialized Classes
Pre-Registration:
IPS
advanced/specialized courses are filled on a first come, first
served basis, based on Letters of Authorization we receive
from client agencies. Many of our courses quickly fill to
capacity. Once a class has reached its capacity, we create
a “stand-by” list. Pre-register your officers early.
Cancellations:
Students
on “stand-by” cannot attend the course until an opening is
created. When IPS receives a cancellation, from the
canceling student’s agency, we then notify the training office
of next student on the “stand-by” list. It is the client agency’s
responsibility to notify the student that they are confirmed
to attend the course. The agency should have already submitted
a Letter of Authorization for the student. However, if one
has not been submitted, the client agency must submit one
to the IPS within the four hours of notification. Fax copies
are acceptable.
If
agencies fail to notify the IPS that officers will not be
attending a particular course, students on stand-by will be
denied the opportunity to attend the training.
The
IPS notifies client agencies when their officers fail to attend
the training programs they have pre-registered for and/or
if the student drops out of class after attending the class
for fifteen (15) minutes.
Once
the instructor begins the class, the IPS must pay the entire
cost of the class for the student. This is charged to the
Region VIII Trust Fund, thereby limiting the amount of training
monies available for client agencies.
Client
agencies may reschedule their officers for any IPS course
at any time the course is available.
Attendance:
All
students and recruits are required to attend every scheduled
hour of each class, course and/or program they attend. On
occasion, emergency situations arise which require students/recruit
to miss a portion of a class. Emergencies are generally defined
as unavoidable and unscheduled work commitments, and urgent
personal and immediate family medical issues. The class Coordinator
will determine if the emergency is excusable and what make-up
work will be assigned, with the approval of the IPS Director.
