“One of the best benefits of the BGLEA was getting to go home every night and have real weekends. I also loved the small class size which helped provide further assistance where needed.” ~ Jon Smith – Class 1

“The staff was always big on safety and professionalism.” ~ Brandon Boards – Class 2

“The BGLEA trained me in different laws, tactics, and techniques to best prepare me to get out onto the streets for patrol.” ~ Jaeden Brown – Class 1

“I would consider the BGLEA a more personal training program. I had a sergeant assigned to me personally who I was able to trust and go to for extra attention as needed.” ~ Michaela King – Class 2

“The best part is learning the way BGPD does things. It makes it less stressful to go to the street because you aren’t learning the way taught at the academy in Richmond and then relearning it the way BGPD does it.” ~ Jon Smith – Class 1

“One of the benefits of attending BGLEA is knowing the expectations that each officer with the BGPD is held to. The other great benefit is being trained by the department I will be working for.” ~ Brandon Boards – Class 2

“A big benefit about attending BGLEA was the convenience of the time and location, especially for families. Additionally, for someone like me who is not from Bowling Green, I was able to drive around the City and learn the streets and locations prior to graduating and patrolling.” ~ Jaeden Brown – Class 1

“The BGLEA training staff is made up of personable and experienced instructors who are fully committed to your success. The mentorship in this program is invaluable and must be experienced firsthand to fully appreciate.” ~ Michaela King – Class 2
