CJ/Fire General Information

  • For inquiries or issues with sections, email the CJ/Fire contacts directly from your personal account to keep the Academies email uncluttered.

  • Starting Fall 2026, sections that end in a later term will belong to that term.

    • Example: A course that begins in May 2026 and ends in October 2026 is a Fall 2026 class — you can register the student if they have a Fall 2026 application.

  • We allow a letter from a police department for residency for CJ per:

    • CA Education Code § 76140.5
    • "A community college may classify a nonresident student who has been hired by a public agency, as a resident for purposes of enrollment in and completion of police academy training courses at a community college, if the student has passed all other requirements of the public agency and if written assurances are provided by the public agency that it intends to classify the student as a peace officer upon successful completion of the police academy training course."
