Police Academy To Host Three Open Houses This Spring
Posted March 23, 2026 at 1:36 pmThe Pennsylvania Highlands Police Academy will host a series of open houses at the College’s Richland Campus on March 30, April 16, and May 6.
All three events will begin at 4 PM and will be held in Room A143, directly across the hall from the College’s Large Group Instruction (LGI) classroom.
“This is a great opportunity to meet the Police Academy staff and learn more about qualifying to become a cadet,” stated Cregg Dibert, Director of Police Academy & Campus Security. “There are several steps, and we will guide the applicants through the process.”
During the event, participants will gain insights into the application process, pre-screening tests, and curriculum. A guided tour of the Academy’s facilities will be provided.
The Penn Highlands Police Academy is a certified unit of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officers’ Education and Training Commission (Act 120). Successful completion of the program will earn cadets a certificate and permit graduates to test for a Commonwealth Municipal Police Training (MPT) number required of all municipal police officers in Pennsylvania.
The Academy’s fourth class is slated to graduate in June 2026.
