Procedures for enrolling an officer in Southwestern Illinois Police Academy:

1. Please call the Academy office at (618) 222-5396 and make a reservation for the next academy session.
2. Departments who have a hired officer and can give us the officers name, birth date, and appointment date will be assigned to list A with a reserved seat.  If the proper information is not supplied by the application deadline the department will lose the seat.
3. Departments who wish to reserve a seat, but do not have a hired officer will be assigned to list B. When you can provide the name, birth date, and appointment date for your hired officer you will be moved to List A as seats are available.
