The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT) will continue to provide the Continuing Education for Constables Training (TCLEOSE #3743) for the next four year training cycle (September 1, 2009-September 1, 2013). We have developed a new training curriculum that will encompass your needs as a Constable in the State of Texas.

This training is the mandated 40 hour block of continuing education for all elected or appointed Constables of the State of Texas. It must be completed each four year training cycle. The course material will include: 8 hours of Emotional Survival, 4 hours of Ethics/Leadership, as well as training in Writs, Citations, Collections, and Detecting Deception.

Like all agencies across the State of Texas, LEMIT must ensure its responsibilities are met within budget constraints. To do this, effective September 1, 2009, Constables registering for training will be responsible for paying for their own travel and lodging costs. LEMIT will no longer be able to fund the travel and lodging costs. LEMIT will continue to provide instructors, training materials, and lunch for this course.

The course will begin at 8:00 a.m. Monday and conclude at noon on Friday. The class days will include a 1 hour working lunch.

Please complete a registration form and submit it by mail or fax (936-294-1387) to the Institute as soon as possible. In submitting your registration form, space permitting, you will be registered for your choice of program and receive a confirmation e-mail or letter. If a class reaches maximum capacity, you will be placed on a waiting list. Because of the legislative mandate, we are only able to provide this course to the elected or appointed Constables. Deputy Constables are not eligible for this training at this time.
