Kilgore College and the Longview Police Department have announced a strategic partnership aimed at providing top-tier police training at the Kilgore College Police Academy of East Texas. This collaboration is designed to deliver professional training for new police officers throughout the East Texas region.
The two institutions, guided by their shared values of "your future starts here" and "providing professional policing," are committed to ensuring that future officers receive exceptional training that will strengthen law enforcement efforts across the region. As the first recruits begin their training, this partnership is expected to have a positive impact on local communities, as newly trained officers take to the streets later this year.
The Longview Police Department expressed gratitude to Dr. Kays and Sheriff Cerliano for their support and endorsement of the collaboration, which promises to set a strong foundation for law enforcement in East Texas.
