Located on the grounds of the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Facility south of the Denver metropolitan area, HRPSTI conducts skills and classroom training to prepare students for the P.O.S.T. Examination and for a law enforcement career.  The HRPSTI Academy curriculum exceeds State requirements for certification as a Peace Officer in Colorado.  Instructors at the academy are law enforcement professionals, attorneys and other who are some of the best academy instructors in Colorado.

As a P.O.S.T. approved academy since 1997, almost 1,000 students in 53 classes have graduated from HRPSTI.  95% of HRPSTI students pass the P.O.S.T. Examination on their first attempt.

Beginning in calendar year 2008, the HRPSTI academy format will change to a full-time schedule with a 40-hour week. Each class will run a minimum of 14 weeks.  Classes will generally be held Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 am through 5:30 pm with a half hour lunch on site.  On occasion, classes will be held on Saturday and adjustments will be made to ensure that the class week does not exceed 40 hours.

We are accepting agency sponsored and individual applicants at this time.
