LEOs Remember: August 31st is approaching!
This isn't really a LEO "Contact [or] Blooper," just a reminder to those of us who have to meet the TCLEOSE deadline of Aug. 31st to finish this cycle's 40 hrs of training. I just finished my last online course and I'm SO HAPPY IT'S OVER! It's far worse than my continuing legal education requirement for attorneys of 15 hrs. annually.

Charles, for us uninitiated, what's involved?

Good to go but a good heads up for those that are not.

It's the continuing education requirement for people holding a Texas Peace Officer License. We have to have 40 hrs. every two years and the current 2 year cycle ends on Aug. 31st.The Annoyed Man wrote:Charles, for us uninitiated, what's involved?

And I have not seen worse on-line training in a long time. It is so out of date that it is embarrassing. Finished the on-line courses on Sunday and took the legislative updates in person this morning.
I really need to get started on this earlier next time. Maybe I should go take the legislative updates class next month when it starts.
