The Temple Police Department offers continuing education training which may be open to currently licensed peace officers or other law enforcement related personnel.  These offerings will be posted as soon as possible so attendees can plan and arrange to attend.

The Temple Police Department will post training as soon as practical.  Although most announcements will be in advance as possible, a quarterly calendar will be used to announce training within that period.

All prospective attendees of any Temple Police Department training must be in good standing with their respective agencies. All Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) licensed individuals must be in good standing.  Generally, Temple Police Department trainings will be open to licensed peace officers, jailers, tele-communicators, elected officials, and civilian law enforcement employees. Classes that are for law enforcement only will be specified as, “Law Enforcement Only”. Classes which are solely for Temple Police Department personnel will be announced as, “TPD Only”. Classes that require certain qualifications or requisites will have those requirements listed with the training announcement. Individuals are not considered enrolled until a confirmation is given by the Temple Police Department.
