BLET is required for potential law enforcement officers. The Martin Community College Basic Law Enforcement Training course is a rigorous program stressing professionalism, academic achievement, discipline, and physical fitness. It is designed to prepare the cadet mentally and physically to function successfully as a law enforcement officer and requires a total commitment for successful completion. Expectations are high and trainees must carry out the Academy's daily regimen in strict compliance with established guidelines.
