Continuing Law Enforcement Education (CLEE)
New for 2019 Mandatory In-service Training
There will be a significant change for mandatory in-service classes for 2019. All officers will still be required to complete 12 hours
of in-service training to maintain their Act 120 certification. Beginning January 2019, ALL 4 of the MPOETC courses will be
provided by HACC, AT NO COST to certified municipal officers and/or county detectives (those whose records are maintained in
TACS by MPOETC.
Departments will still register their officers for the MIST training as always, but there will be no charge and therefore, no billing for
any of the four MPOETC in-service courses. Departments will not pay and will not be reimbursed for tuition for these four courses
– all tuition reimbursement will be paid directly to HACC by MPOETC.
In 2019, Legal Updates is a mandatory course and must be taken by every certified municipal officer either in class or online. The
other three MPOETC courses may also be taken at no cost as well. Officers are still permitted to substitute CLEE-approved courses
in lieu of the elective MIST courses.
Department who are not maintained in TACS, but who are permitted to take the MPOETC courses will have to pay $60.00 per
officer for Legal Updates (19-001), but the other three courses will be free of charge. There is a separate process in place for these
departments. Please contact our office for more information if you are one of these agencies.
Please Note: The Continuing Law Enforcement Education (CLEE) requirement consists of 12 hours of classroom training for 2019.
The additional hour listed for each course is for administrative time and testing.
