Intensive Comprehensive Peace Officer Education and Training Program (ICPOET)
The Intensive Comprehensive Peace Officer Education and Training (ICPOET) program provides grant funding to assist Minnesota law enforcement agencies with hiring. The Minnesota Legislature created the program to help agencies experiencing staffing shortfalls due to officers retiring and fewer people choosing to enter the profession.
Selected candidates attend an intensive, comprehensive training program at Alexandria Technical & Community College or Hennepin Technical College. During this time, candidates go through the same training that a traditional peace officer student completes.
ICPOET grantees
Forty-six law enforcement agencies across the state received funding for the ICPOET program. The agencies will sponsor a total of 94 candidates with two- and four-year degrees who want to make a career transition into law enforcement.
