Basic Class Training
Like cadets, all of the state's city, college police officers, county sheriff deputies, Division of Natural Resources (DNR) conservation officers and Motor Carrier Enforcement hirees observe the same academy rules and policies. Their curriculum is shorter but similar in intensity.
Basic class students train for 16 weeks. To be accepted for basic class training in addition to their individual department hiring standards, students must be able to perform 18 push-ups per minute, 27 sit-ups per minute and run 1.5-mile (2.4 km) in a maximum time limit of 15:20 seconds. These are requirements established by the West Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services. Basic class training sessions are spread throughout the year.
