THE SHORT VERSION

Online access. Real state requirements.

Online training can remove a major barrier: finding a classroom date that fits your life. It does not remove the need to follow California’s application, background-check, and Live Scan instructions.

CPS keeps the course scope direct. You study Powers to Arrest and Appropriate Use of Force, complete the course requirements, and receive your certificate before moving to the state’s next steps.
