The Caddo Sheriff’s Regional Training Academy began a new training class for 18 recruits.  

CSRTA Class 54 began the first-of-its-kind academy that is exclusively CPSO employees only. These recruits who worked at the Caddo Correctional Center decided to become Peace Officers Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.)  law enforcement officers.

The recruits began training this morning at 7 a.m. For the next 14 weeks, the recruits will be trained in officer survival skills, active shooter drills, officer-down scenarios, academics, and weapons qualifications. The training will also include physical fitness, chemical weapons, legal aspects, defensive tactics, driving, diversity, professionalism, and other topics.

This is the first time two academy classes will be conducted at the Caddo Sheriff’s Regional Training Academy simultaneously. Class 53 will graduate on May 2, at 4 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church in Shreveport.
