State Law Enforcement Training Requirements

The Institute for Criminal Justice Training Reform collects data for basic training, field training and in-service hours as the mandated minimum regulation as required by the state’s legislatures or the Peace Officers Standards and Training commission (POST). You may view our data set here.

With no governmental requirements for police to report deadly use of force cases, the Institute utilizes independent sources such as Fatal Encounters and the Washington Post Fatal Force Database for Citizens Killed by Police data.

Police officer death statistics are provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Law Enforcement Officers Assaulted & Killed report.

Note: Some jurisdictions may require more training than the state minimum, which is not reflected in our data set. You can view the most recent Bureau of Justice Statistics Law Enforcement Training Academies Census (2013) for academy averages and curriculum breakdown.
