The Arkansas Division on Law Enforcement Standards and Training has recognized 65 cadets representing 45 law enforcement agencies following their graduation from Training Class 2026-B.
The graduation ceremony was held at the East Camden campus of the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy.
Following weeks of intensive instruction, the graduates successfully completed Arkansas’ basic law enforcement training requirements and are prepared to begin serving communities across the state.
During the academy, the recruits received comprehensive instruction in constitutional law, officer safety, defensive tactics, firearms, emergency vehicle operations, crisis response, ethics, report writing and community policing.
The cadets also participated in realistic scenario-based exercises designed to prepare them for the complex situations they could encounter while serving the public.
“Graduation is more than completing a course—it’s earning the trust that comes with serving the people of Arkansas,” East Camden ALETA Training Supervisor Jonathan Chambers said. “Class 2026-B has shown determination, professionalism and a commitment to excellence. We are proud of what they have accomplished and look forward to the impact they will have in communities across our state.”
