Utah Tech provides a satellite academy in Southern Utah, catering to individuals who are contemplating a career in law enforcement.
In concert with Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, our mission is to provide professional standards and training, leadership and certification for peace officers and dispatchers as we work to protect the rights and privileges of Utah’s citizens while elevating the integrity of the profession.
We now offer two sessions each year, held in January and August.
Applications for the August session are closed. Applications for the January 2026 session will be accepted July 20th through December 2nd or until full.
The next Special Function Officer (SFO) will begin Janaury 12, 2026, and the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) session will begin April 2026. SFO is a prerequisite for attending LEO.
