RTA (Regional Training Academy)Law Enforcement Education Committee (LEEC) Bylaws The Regional Training Academy (RTA) was created within the Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG), State Planning Region 12, to establish a central, managed, method of delivering professional law enforcement training within the ten county regions. Since its conception, the RTA has played a critical role in providing needed training to the area law enforcement personnel. The RTA provides both entry level (pre-service) training, as well as continuing education (in-service) training to law enforcement and criminal justice personnel. To satisfy the region's need for trained law enforcement applicants, the RTA provides the entry level "Basic Peace Officer's Course". The Basic Peace Officer's Course is designed to provide students with the knowledge essential to begin a law enforcement career, and prepare the students to take the State Peace Officer Licensing Examination. The RTA provides in-service training courses designed to fulfill the needs of law enforcement personnel throughout our region. The RTA produces law enforcement training courses that not only correspond with all mandated learning objectives set out by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE), but also reflects the current needs and trends of our region. The RTA continually seeks to provide the most qualified instructors to present these courses. The RTA strives to produce effective and efficient training courses that meet the training needs of the region. The regional training needs are assessed by measuring the results of a bi-annual "Training Needs Survey", by input from the Regional Training Academy's Law Enforcement Education Committee (LEEC) and by input from area chiefs and training coordinators. The RTA is committed to providing these courses within a close proximity to agencies needing the training. Regional training assessments allow the RTA to strategically locate satellite training facilities to provide training near to departments needing the training. The RTA provides a service to area law enforcement agencies by sponsoring in-service courses that are taught by their personnel to members their own department. Through sponsoring these courses, the RTA provides an administrative function by approving the instructor's qualifications and lesson content, providing TCLEOSE credit and maintaining all essential record keeping for each course. Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice training will continue to be a challenge. Changes in statutory law, case law, public policy, crime trends and public opinion will always dictate needs in training. The RTA is committed to satisfy these needs by producing courses designed to enhance the quality, productivity and needs of the law enforcement agencies within State Planning Region 12.
