Thank you for your interest in the Rio Hondo College Police Academy.   


For information on future academy classes or information meetings please monitor this website. We will no longer be offering information meetings for the upcoming class.

  • The Basic Course Academy will be presented in the modular format, consisting of three modules.  Each module is considered a separate stand-alone course and will require independent registration.  Completion of the three modules meets the same requirements as the Regular Basic Academy.  The modules will be presented in the following order, Module III (PAC 075B), Module II (PAC 075C) and Module I (PAC 075D).  The academy will consist of 727 hours of instruction and will be presented over an estimated twelve month timeline. The academy will be presented twenty hours a week.  Module III is 144 hours of instruction presented over eight weeks.  Module II is 189 hours of instruction and will be presented in ten weeks.  Module I is 394 hours of instruction and will be presented over twenty weeks.   

  • The selection process for the 48 recruits will be based upon the POST Entry Level Battery (T-Score) reading comprehension and writing skills, as well as the POST Work Sample Battery Test (fitness test).  If the number of qualified applicants exceeds 48 people a lottery will be used to make the final class selection.  Qualified veterans are encouraged to apply.  Applicants will need to complete a Department of Justice (DOJ) clearance for firearms, so they cannot have any felony or domestic violence convictions.  It is preferred that applicants are twenty-one years or older.
