Police Items used in the job

North Carolina Coastal Plain Police Academy, Inc. was established in 1967 by thirty-one law enforcement agencies in the eastern part of the state. The purpose of the training center was to provide education and training to law enforcement personnel within the area. Although the corporation still exits, over the years Wilson Community College has gradually assumed responsibility for continuing the goal of training officers throughout the region. The Coastal Plain Law Enforcement Training Center, as it is known today, is one of the oldest and most active law enforcement training providers in North Carolina.

Wilson Community College, through the Coastal Plain Law Enforcement Training Center, continues its commitment of providing quality law enforcement training to meet the needs of the law enforcement officers in the eastern region of our state.  The training center is comprised of two different but combined training units to meet the growing training needs of our law enforcement community. Wilson Community College is host to a Basic Law Enforcement Training program and an In-Service Law Enforcement Training Center.

PRE-REGISTRATION

Every effort will be made to accommodate maximum participation in the courses offered but may be limited by classroom size. Agency heads or their representative should contact the Coastal Plain Law Enforcement Training Center at the earliest possible date to reserve seats in classes . Approximately three weeks prior to course starting dates a course pre-registration form will be e-mailed to your agency with a lesson plan attachment. The pre-registration form must be completed and e-mailed or faxed back to us to hold your reservation(s) and to allow us to be prepared for the start of class. Agencies/students are expected to print the lesson plan and bring it to class. When it is determined that a reserved seat will not be needed, please notify us as soon as possible so a stand-by applicant can be contacted.
