Southwest Indiana Law Enforcement Academy

[TXFL1987]

Hello,

Question regarding the SILEA located in Evansville, Indiana. For entry as a student does one need to be sponsored by a law enforcement agency, or can one simply submit an application of some sort to be admitted? I notice their website states that they are tuition free which leads me to think all students must be sponsored.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

As of right now, you need to be a full time member of a police agency (or fire dept). I've heard they may start taking non sworn members like academies in california do, but its yet to be done. I'm sure the website will update IF that ever happens. The Evansville Police Dept ( hosting agency) hires year round if your interested in being a cop.
