MEMORANDUM REGARDING PEACE OFFICER TRAINING
DURING COVID-19 EMERGENCY
Today, March 16, 2020, in response to
Oklahoma Governor Stitt’s Emergency Declaration
The Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) took preliminary steps to address potential impacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic. These steps will, in the short-term, affect many of our operations. Some of the immediate impacts will be schedule adjustments to basic academy operations and potential delays in our ability to process licensing applications and training reports.
This is an extraordinary situation and information can change quickly. We ask for your patience as we take these steps to mitigate the potential long-term effects of this virus.
Statement regarding 2020 annual peace officer training: We are aware that with all of the many disruptions related to the COVID-19 emergency some of you already have concerns about being able to obtain training to fulfill the 2020 annual training requirement, including the annual firearm qualification. CLEET is monitoring the situation and will address specific training issues as needed and as more information about the extent and duration of the COVID-19 emergency becomes available. While most if not all in-person training opportunities have been temporarily cancelled, there are still many online training opportunities available now and more such training is likely to be available in the coming weeks.

PRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY NOTICE
Please be aware that because of a temporary staffing shortage we are experiencing increased turn-around times for private security license application reviews. We have received permission to begin interviewing for our open position and hope to have it filled by January 2020. Once that position is filled, we expect to see those delays decrease.
The best way to avoid any further delay is to ensure that your applications are complete and correct before submitting them. All blanks in the application must be filled, all supporting documentation must be provided, all signature lines must be signed and notarized where indicated, and the full application fee must be attached. Any deficiency in the application will result in notice of the deficiency and thirty days to correct the deficiencies or to be in contact with CLEET staff about ongoing efforts to correct the deficiencies. Any deficient application which is not corrected or about which the applicant has not been in contact with CLEET staff within 30 days of notification will be discarded.
As of June 1, 2019, CLEET will no longer receive faxes. To better serve you, CLEET will use email to receive and respond to our customers’ needs quickly and promptly. Documents needing original signatures will need to be sent via postal service to:
