The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE), as directed by the Texas Legislature, mandates specific training for law enforcement and jailers.

Any Texas Peace Officer or Jailer must hold a valid license issued by TCOLE. Law enforcement officers must attend a 720-hour Basic Peace Officer Course (BPOC) and must pass a State Test. Jailers must complete a 120-hour Basic County Corrections Course (BCCC) and must also pass the State Test.

These courses are conducted on-site at the PBLEA as the most cost effective, viable regional training resources. The regional training concept has been and continues to be highly effective. With courses based on the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer’s lesson objectives and the PBLEA’s lesson plans.
