Bishopville Police Training Begins Here and continues…..

It does not matter if you are perspective police officer or certified with multiple areas of expertise. The Bishopville Police Department Support and Training division is ultimately accountable for ensuring each officer is up to date in he/her training and legal knowledge.

The training officer is a South Carolina State Certified instructor with many years developing classes and teaching the necessary and mandated officer development classes as well as in-service recertification. The Training Division also hosts classes and invites outside agencies to attend. This leads to good community relations and networking between officers.

Law Enforcement Training Begins Here

The South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy, (the Academy), provides law enforcement training to the state of South Carolina. The Academy equips South Carolina's certified law enforcement and detention officers with essential knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to do their job.
