The campus police officers must successfully complete a certified law enforcement academy of at least 860 hours of training that has been approved by Colorado's Peace Officer Standard and Training Board. The officers must successfully complete a FTO training program under the supervision of a Field Training Officer and other experienced officers. This training covers among other things, security and crime concerns specific to the College environment. The officers receive year round in-service training, relevant to their duties, in conjunction with the Littleton Police Department. Finally, newly hired officers are on a one-year probationary period. The Campus Police Department uses Littleton Police Department dispatch center after hours. The Department also shares a direct phone line with the Littleton Police Department, which allows for fast, efficient coordination of services when needed.
