Basic Police Academy Modular Level Three Registration Info/Checklist

There are no entrance assessment exam requirements for BAM Three.

To register, contact our main office at 408-229-4299. To secure a spot in the class, be prepared to pay the course deposit as listed on the course flyer.

Documentation:

Once you have paid the deposit, email copies of the following documents to Hannah Suzuiki (hsuzuki@theacademy.ca.gov):

  • BAM Three Cover Sheet
  • DOJ — take this form to a Livescan location (use a law enforcement facility to avoid possible delays in your clearance).  We need the original document that the DOJ will mail to you after your fingerprints are submitted; not the receipt the Livescan operator hands to you on the day they take your prints.  Please be advised that the DOJ does not offer expedited services.
  • Medical Exam Report — take these pages to your physician no sooner than 30 days prior to the start date of your academy.  Submit completed pages to The Academy as soon as possible after your medical exam.

In addition to receiving your deposit and the completed forms listed above, official acceptance into The Academy requires the following:

  • Photocopy of your valid CA driver’s license
  • Photocopy of your medical insurance card (you must have coverage for the duration of the course)
  • 3-year DMV abstract (request from a DMV office); must be dated within 90 days from the start date of your chosen Academy
  • PT gear (visit our office at least one month prior to Academy start date to be fitted for your gear)
  • Final payment – must be paid in full at least five (5) business days prior to start date of The Academy

Reference items:

  • Students Needs List — review this doc as soon as possible and, if you do not already own a firearm, proceed with the handgun process early — you will have to take into account imposed waiting periods and other additional requirements may vary by supplier.

Financial Aid:

Limited financial aid may be available for this course, but you may at least qualify for the Board of Governors (BOG) Waiver, which could help cover the registration portion of your course fees.

If you have any registration questions, please contact our main office at 408-229-4299.
