Training
Since 1976, CLEAT has offered training to assist officers in critical incidents, workplace ethics, and officer rights. In fact, we pushed hard in the legislature for increases in training, better professionalism, higher standards, and education for officers.
CLEAT was the first statewide law enforcement organization in Texas to offer training to its members and continues to offer our member-exclusive training programs/classes. Unlike other organizations, we have never sought profit from an officer’s training.
TCOLE-Approved Training
CLEAT offers numerous free training opportunities to our members throughout the state. This includes training from nationally recognized trainers, TCOLE-required classes taught by TCOLE instructors, and training at conferences and our annual convention.
We are excited about the future of CLEAT as we continue to strive to bring our members the best training available, both online and in person.
