“This informational session is an important opportunity for aspiring law enforcement professionals to learn about the exceptional training programs we offer,” said Drury Law Enforcement Academy Executive Director Chris Johns. “The mirror program in West Plains is the sole provider of law enforcement academy training in a nine-county region and enables individuals outside of Springfield to access the same high-quality education and training opportunities as our on-campus students.”
The Drury Law Enforcement Academy launched the mirror program in West Plains to allow students outside of Springfield to attend the academy online, in real-time, through synchronous lectures with the Springfield campus, ensuring students receive the same level of instruction as on-campus participants. The Drury Law Enforcement Academy mirror program consists of 750 hours of basic training, certified by the State of Missouri Department of Public Safety. Approximately 60 percent of the curriculum is delivered through classroom lectures, which will be livestreamed for offsite students. The remaining 40 percent comprises tactical, hands-on training courses conducted by experienced Drury instructors at Shield Solutions LLC, a trusted training provider for law enforcement officers in the West Plains area.
