Are there any age requirements to take classes in Law Enforcement
Technology (LET)?
Students must be 18 to enroll in Peace Officer Basic Training.
If I am already a peace officer does that qualify me for
college credit?
Students who are currently Ohio Certified Peace Officers may be
eligible to apply credit to the peace officer basic training
program but must provide documentation of current peace
officer status.
Can I take classes online or face-to-face?
The law enforcement technology associate degree and the peace
officer basic training certificate
both include hands-on learning and
some face-to-face classes. There are some online courses
that can be taken as part of the law enforcement technology
program.
What expenses are there in addition to tuition?
Students in the law enforcement technology associate degree
program — and the Peace Officer Basic Training Certificate
program — will be required to purchase and wear a
uniform.
What type of financial assistance is available to help me pay for
college?
COTC awards more than $1 million in scholarships to students each
year.
Every student is encouraged to complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for grants,
scholarships and loans.
Students who complete a FAFSA are automatically considered for
some scholarships. Other scholarships
require an application.

Can I pursue a bachelor’s degree after I complete an associate
degree?
Students interested in continuing their education to pursue a
bachelor’s degree can consider transferring to a four-year
college or university. COTC has a transfer agreement with
Tiffin University for
law enforcement.
