Police recruits who are not licensed peace officers in the State of Texas are required to complete a 16-week basic training program at a regional police academy. After completing the academy, and successfully passing the Basic Peace Officer License examination, recruits attend a five week mini-academy at the Plano-Richardson Police Training Center in Plano. Plano recruits will be assigned to the Patrol Division for field training after completion and passing of the orientation phase, where they will remain with a field training officer until completion of this training.
