Academies are designed to introduce the pre-service officer to the SKAV’s/skills, knowledge, abilities and values required of their chosen career.

In Ohio, corrections and police academies are organized by the state and combine both career SKAV’s and academic enhancement. Therefore, Lakeland Community College’s Criminal Justice Department grants credit for successfully completing a State of Ohio Corrections officer or basic police academy.
