SWOSU Selects Students for First CLEET Collegiate Officer Program

The CLEET Collegiate Officer Program is a component of the SWOSU Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement degree. 

According to Dr. Chad Kinder, associate dean of the SWOSU School of Behavioral Sciences and Education, participants in this competitive entry program were chosen based upon their grade point average, interview performance, fitness levels, and background check/drug screen results. 

Successful participants will exit the program with their Bachelor of Science degree with a major area in Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement and having met requirements for full time Oklahoma law enforcement certification. 

“This allows program graduates to go to work for any municipal, county or state law enforcement agency that normally sends their officers to the 16-week, Ada-based CLEET Academy,” Kinder said.

The SWOSU Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement Collegiate Officer Program is the only conservation oriented CLEET program in the state.  The program has a number of hands-on classes including tactical tracking, wilderness first aid, wildlife management, rope rescue, criminal investigations, firearms and defensive tactics.
