The Niagara County Law Enforcement Academy is holding an information session at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10. The event will take place in Dunleavy Hall, Room 127, on the campus of Niagara University.

Founded in 1973, the NCLEA was originally formed to serve the police agencies of Niagara County, but is now assisting law enforcement departments in Erie, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming and Livingston counties as well. In February 2012, the Niagara County Sheriff's Office and the Niagara Falls Police Department announced that the NCLEA would be relocated from Niagara County Community College to Niagara University, making NU the only four-year, private college in New York to host a full-time police academy. Its first class graduated in August.

Administered through Niagara University's Office of Continuing Education, the NCLEA trains sworn officers and has been approved by the Division of Criminal Justice Services to train pre-employment recruits. It is designed for current civilians throughout New York who are interested in entering the law enforcement field.

Due to the typically high volume of applications and the limited number of openings for the academy, interested individuals are encouraged to apply as early as possible.

Veterans and/or active military personnel who would like to inquire about using family benefits to enroll in the NCLEA should contact Robert Healy, NU's veterans' services coordinator, at 716-286-8341 or [email protected].
