Program Review - Police Science

Prepared by: Kevin MiznerWhat are the strengths of your

area?:The Police Science Division has a number of strengths to focus on for 2014/15. Overall, in 2014/15 the program has produced 97 police officer candidates (policeacademy), 118 limited peace officer candidates (PC 832), 34 correctional officers (Adult Core Academy), and over 400 advanced officers have received training inadvanced law enforcement courses in cooperation with the Training Resource Center (TRC). The advanced officer training totaled $146,174 in total revenue forTRC.

1. The Police Science Division continues to have solid completion rates in the for credit area of instruction. In 2014/15, the Division offered both the PC 832Laws of Arrest and Firearms courses. The Laws of Arrest courses experienced an overall completion rate 96% and the Firearms courses had a completion rate of99%.

In addition, the Police Academy modules remain fairly steady as compared to previous sessions. In 2014/15, the first module (Module III) had an overallcompletion rate of 84% (79% in 2013/14). Of those who failed to complete the first module (Module III), only one student failed due to testing. The additionalstudents dropped the program for a variety of issues including financial concerns and for personal reasons. The second module (Module II) had an overallcompletion rate of 91% (89% in 2013/14) and the third module (Module I) had an overall completion rate of 89% (86% in 2013/14). In comparison, the statewideaverage for completion rates for Police Academies (2014/15 Perkins IV Core Indicator Report) is 78.95% (refer attached report).

2. In 2015, the CA Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) completed the Basic Course Certification Review (BCCR) process for thePolice Academy. The comprehensive review covers a multitude of areas defined by POST regulation and requires a passing score to maintain accreditation for theprogram. The Police Academy passed the review with only three minor recommendations to be implemented (final report pending).

3. The Police Science Division has initiated a digital project for records storage. The police academy and advanced officer training courses require significantdocumentation that must be retained for long periods of time. The records have been maintained in storage boxes and stored on site. Due to a necessary reductionin storage space, the college approved the purchase of two high speed scanners, development of a file system in BDMS (Banner) and budgeted clerical time to allowfor the conversion of records. Once completed, records storage space will be reduced significantly, and the digital files will be accessible from any workstation withBDMS access and approved password.

4. In 2015, the District approved the return of the Extended Police Academy format beginning in 2016. For approximately 15 years, the Extended format wasoffered as an alternative program to the Intensive format. In 2011, the Extended format was put into abeyance due to budget issues. After extensive review, it wasdetermined that the Extended format will allow many potential law enforcement candidates to attend an academy while working full-time during the week. Inaddition, the format should offer 60+ FTES annually to assist the Hanford Center reach the goal of 1,000 FTES while using classroom space on the weekends.

5. In Spring 2016, the Academy Orientation Course (PS310) will be in the course catalog and available for scheduling. This course is a 40-hour (2 units) offeringdesigned to prepare students for the rigors of the police academy. The curriculum will include report writing, physical training orientation, drill and deportment,sample testing and introduction to the polices and procedures of the Academy.

What improvements areneeded?:

There are a number of improvements that have been identified and are currently in process of review.

1.The Police Science Division has a limited number of full-time staff supported by limited part-time staff. There is limited back-up for key positions within theDivision and employee absences can create significant issues for the day-to-day operation of the program. Two key areas of concern are the Academy Coordinatorand Administrative Assistant positions. A recent serious medical issue removed the Academy Coordinator from his position and while a substitute was assigned,there is little written procedure available for the substitute to follow. It requires a significant investment of time by the Program Director to help make certain allrequired tasks are followed.

2.As part of the Academy operation, Recruit Training Officers (RTO’s) are donated by local law enforcement agencies to provide direct supervision of the academyclass (required pursuant to POST regulations). While of great benefit to the District in cost savings, the current model lacks consistency and proper informationsharing between RTO’s who never see the other RTO’s. In a final Program Evaluation conducted with the academy class in Spring of 2015, there were a number ofcomments specifically addressing the lack of consistency in RTO activity. Some students found the inconsistency to be of benefit while others found it frustrating

and problematic. Steps need to be taken to better train and supervise RTO's selected by their agencies to serve in the program, in addition to updating the RecruitTraining Officer Manual and developing periodic RTO training during the academy sessions.

Describe any externalopportunities or challenges.:

One of the greatest opportunities externally is the strong job market for law enforcement officers statewide. Statistical data from the CA Employment DevelopmentDepartment shows total annual statewide openings for law enforcement workers as 4,170 due to growth and separation. Locally, the forecast for Kings and TulareCounties alone is 177 positions annually (CA EDD Profile). The current police academy classes are being recruited almost weekly by agencies from around thestate with many of the students in active backgrounds for agencies.

An external challenge for the program are POST-mandated changes in curriculum in the police academy without an increase in mandated hours. For instance, thestate has imposed additional training requirements for peace officers in the area of First Aid/CPR. Unfortunately, the time required for the training did not increase,thus the program is asked to determine what the reasonable amount of time is to teach the block. It is difficult to justify additional hours of training when themandated hours remain the same.

Overall Outcome Achievement: The overall outcomes for the Police Science Division have been good. With minor exception, students are meeting and exceeding the goals set for individualstudent learning outcomes both in academic and manipulative skills areas. Based on pass rates for both the final end of module test (Module I) and completion ofscenario testing, academy students are well prepared for the next phase of training - Field Training with a department.

In June of 2015, a survey was sent to the local police departments and sheriff's departments in Kings and Tulare Counties requesting information on cadetperformance in Field Training. While there was a small response (3 departments representing 10 cadets), the overall findings were that the cadets were "good" or"very good" in their preparedness for FTO (see attached forms). Another survey will be attempted that will hopefully have a larger sampling from local agencies.

In addition, a Final Program Evaluation was conducted for the first time in the Spring 2015 police academy. In this evaluation, along with a variety of specificinformation requests, students were asked to rank (5-highest / 1-lowest) the statement "The program provided me with a solid base of training." Of the 50respondents, 45 students ranked the question with a rating of "5" and 5 students ranked the question with a rating of "4".

Changes based on outcomeachievement:

The police academy curriculum is developed and provided by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). As a result, the curriculum and alltesting material is provided by POST with little room for deviation by the presenter. However, based on student learning outcome assessments for the BasicAcademy Modules, there were two areas of instruction that needed further review.

- In Module II, Property Crimes is tested through a POST written test. Over the course of four academy classes reviewed, there was a wide variation in passrates with two semesters falling under the outcome goal of 90%. The same instructor has taught the course in all four semesters, but it is unknown what may havecaused the fluctuation. A review will be done with the instructor to determine if there have been any changes in how the material is being presented to the students.

- In Module 3, Intro to Criminal Law is tested through a POST written test as well. In this case, the outcome goal is set at 81% of students will pass the test,which is considerably lower than any other area. The outcome goal has been increased to 90% to be consistent with other similar learning outcomes.

Outcome cycle evaluation: the Police Science Division utilizes the three-year assessment cycle to review all student learning outcomes and program outcomes. Currently, there are not anyoverdue assessments and assessments will continue on a semester basis. The division has one adjunct instructor (PS313) who offers significant input into theprocess for her course.

Action: Extended Police Academy Program

District Objective #2

The option for an extended Academy Course will allow students to have part or full-time employment, which will impact their ability to maintain financial stability,which will improve their level of success.

Person(s) Responsible (Nameand Position):

Kevin Mizner, Program Director

Rationale (With supportingdata):

In 1998, COS implemented an Extended Police Academy Program to meet the needs of students who were unable to attend the intensive format academy during theweek. The Extended Program continued annually through 2011, when it was put into abeyance due to budget. In its last offering in 2011, the course generated 80


FTE with 48 students completing the course. Since the cancelling of the course, there has been consistent inquiries from students interested in the program. Inaddition, two extended Reserve Modular courses (Modules III/II) in Fresno and Porterville graduate in May of each year. A significant number of those studentswould continue in our Module I in an Extended format but cannot meet the schedule of the Intensive format. In addition, the Academy Law Enforcement AdvisoryBoard continues to request that the program be reinstated at first opportunity due to the quality of candidate that the program typically produced.

Action: Academy Start Dates - Financial Aid

Initiate discussions and planning toward adjusting Academy start dates to better facilitate financial aid to students.



Status: Discontinued


This action best relates to overall student success. (Provide effective academic support services as measured by an increase in the rate at which studentssuccessfully complete courses.) Students will be more successful if financial plans can be better supported for an intensive program.


Kevin Mizner


Students in the Intensive Academy complete 29.5 units of credit over a period of 24 weeks. The course begins in one semester and finishes in the next, however,due to the financial aid schedule, students are eligible for only one semester of financial aid. If the academy start dates changed to later in the semester, a largercomponent can be placed in the next semester which can result in additional financial assistance. Students who have the opportunity to have two semesters offinancial aid should have the ability to be more focused on their studies.

The challenge will be a potential overlap of several weeks which will require additional coordinator hours and classroom space to manage.Priority: High
