AACOG Regional Law Enforcement Academy Rules & Guidelines
1. Who can attend Training: AACOG Academy training is for all peace officers,
probation & parole officers, corrections officers, and telecommunications
specialists. Federal and military law enforcement are allowed to attend AACOG
training. Certain civilians in criminal justice occupations can attend certain classes
with Academy Coordinator approval. Anyone who is currently between law
enforcement agencies (not currently commissioned) can also attend as long as they
do not currently have their TCLEOSE license suspended or revoked.
2. Method of Payment - Currently, the Academy does not accept credit cards or
debit cards. Training can be paid by check, money order, exact cash, or AACOG
can invoice an officer’s agency. Payment or payment arrangements are generally
made on the day of class.
3. Dress Policy – The AACOG Law Enforcement Academy is a place of business.
No one will be admitted to training wearing shorts, flip-flops, or any clothing deemed
inappropriate or offensive.
4. TCLEOSE PID#’s – TCLEOSE went to Personal Identification Numbers (PIDs) for
all Texas peace officers several years ago. These numbers are required in order
for a peace officer to receive credit for training.
Individual officers are responsible for having their TCLEOSE PID# at the
beginning of class.
If you do not know your PID#, ask your training officer/administrator beforehand or
contact TCLEOSE directly: 512-936-7700.
5. Classroom Etiquette – Understandably, some people may need to have their cell
phones on during training. Please have the phones on vibrate, and if you need to
take a call, quietly exit the classroom and take your call outside the room.
Texting in the class – As a general rule, this should be done sparingly. This will
be left to the individual instructor for each class as to what level of texting is
acceptable. Please keep it reasonable and related to business or emergencies.
General Behavior – Reading the morning paper while a class is in session is
simply rude. Please refrain from such actions. Although rarely a problem, it should
be noted that anyone who is disruptive and interfering with instruction during
training will be asked to leave and the administrative head for their agency will be
notified.
Food and drink may or may not be permissible in the training classroom depending
on which classroom you are in. Please follow the local guidelines where the
training is taking place.
If there are any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Mr. Richard Bryan,
Academy Coordinator at 210-362-5258 or [email protected].

CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATOR
CERTIFICATION
PROGRAM
The AACOG Criminal Investigator Certification Program is a comprehensive
program consisting of training in some of the expected skill sets of
knowledgeable criminal investigators.
Whether you are currently a criminal investigator or looking to become one in the
future, the AACOG Criminal Investigator Certification Program will provide the
training and resources you need towards running a successful investigation.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION TRAINING PROGRAMS IN TEXAS!
The program curriculum contains a total of fifteen (15) criminal investigation
training courses. Upon completion of all fifteen courses, a person may submit an
application for a certificate of completion for the program to the Academy along
with copies of their course certificates (see page 46 for course listing and
application). All courses must have been completed through the AACOG
Regional Law Enforcement Academy. See the following page for Frequently
Asked Questions.
Applications and copies of course certificates may be submitted via fax to Ms.
Doris Haby at 210-824-5881, or e-mailed to [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions
For the AACOG Criminal Investigator (CI) Certification Program
1. How long is the program?
It depends how often someone attends the training when it is available. The Academy has
recently updated the program with even more valuable training, and we intend to offer the
courses in a structured manner so someone seeking certification and attending every class as it
is made available can complete the program within the year. Understandably, if every class is not
attended in sequence, it will extend the total amount time before the program is completed.
2. Why must every class in the program be through the Academy?
We cannot attest to the quality of the curriculum from other trainers. Case in point, our original
curriculum allowed for any TCLEOSE Intermediate Crime Scene Investigation class to be
accepted towards completion of the CI Program. It was later discovered the TCLEOSE
Intermediate Crime Scene Investigation class is offered on-line through some training providers.
We at the AACOG Regional Law Enforcement Academy feel a practical training course such as
Crime Scene Investigation should never be offered as an on-line course. We teach this course
using actual mock crime scenes.
3. Are your instructors experienced investigators?
Yes! Our instructors are subject matter experts with real life experiences as criminal
investigators.
4. Do I have to pursue the AACOG Criminal Investigator Certification in order to take one of the
classes listed in the curriculum?
No. Enrollment in any of our listed courses is open to all law enforcement personnel seeking
training. The program is designed so people can take the courses one at a time as available and
there is no requirement that someone be actively pursuing Criminal Investigator Certification.
5. If I take a couple of classes from the program curriculum and later decide to attend the other
courses to achieve certification, will the previous classes count?
Yes. As long as you can provide the AACOG course certificates from all the classes taken. This
program is self-paced. When you complete all the required courses, you will need to send copies
of your course certificates with a completed application.

Eyewitness evidence is critical to the apprehension and prosecution of criminals.
Since 1989, DNA evidence has been used to exonerate nearly 200 individuals that
were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned. Of those, approximately 75% were
convicted on evidence that included inaccurate and faulty eyewitness
identifications. Research has proven that a number of small changes to the
identification process will help improve the accuracy and reliability of eyewitness
identification, ensuring that the highest quality of eyewitness evidence is
collected and preserved.
The goal of this curriculum is to provide students with a knowledge and
understanding of how the implementation of recommended protocols, or Best
Practices, can improve the accuracy and reliability of eyewitness evidence.

The AACOG Board of Directors Recognizes Fallen Cadet
On January 23, 2013, AACOG Board of Director Chair Don J. Tymrak presented the
family of Miguel Angel Alonzo, III with an academy badge pendant donated by David
Putnam of Alamo City Gold & Silver in San Antonio. Mr. Putnam is a retired San
Antonio Police Officer who provides badge pendants to the families of fallen officers.
In October 2011, Miguel Alonzo, a recent graduate of the AACOG Academy, was in a
parking lot of a business when one of his friends who had an altercation with another
man was run over by the man as he stood in the parking lot.
Miguel ran to the aid of his friend when the suspect then intentionally ran over Miguel
with his vehicle and fled the scene. Miguel passed away as a result of the injuries he
incurred. The suspect was arrested months later and is currently awaiting trial.
Because Miguel had not been commissioned with a law enforcement agency at the
time, his story was not known to David Putnam, owner of Alamo City Gold & Silver. Mr.
Ed Coffey, AACOG Academy Advisory Board Member, shared Miguel’s story in passing
at a meeting, and David later agreed to provide a custom academy badge pendant
inscribed with Miguel’s name and End of Watch (EOW) date. The pendant was later
presented to Miguel’s mother at the AACOG January Board of Directors meeting.
Special Thanks to Mr. Ed Coffey, Mr. David Putnam, and AACOG Chair Don J. Tymrak
for remembering and recognizing our cadet, Miguel Angel Alonzo III, for his honorable
actions and desire to pursue a law enforcement career.

The Academy Visits the Capitol
for AACOG Day March 12, 2013
Along with members of other AACOG divisions and local elected officials, members of
the AACOG Academy staff visited the State Capitol on March 12, 2013. The AACOG
agenda was to raise awareness to elected officials in Austin about the importance and
value of service AACOG (and other council of governments in general) provide to their
respective regions. Some of the main topics of discussion in Austin centered around
AACOG’s involvement in assisting local communities with the Eagle Ford Shale project,
water availability, and of course, regional law enforcement academy funding.
Many state leaders were visited and their offices informed about the services provided
by AACOG. The importance of their support on issues with law enforcement academy
funding, and training funds in general, was highly stressed.
The good news thus far from the Criminal Justice Division of the Governor’s Office is
that the AACOG Regional Law Enforcement Academy will receive funding for the next
two years beginning September 1, 2013. Any additional funding beyond 2015 will need
the support and action of state legislatures. This will hopefully be addressed before the
83rd Session of the Texas State Legislature ends in June 2013.

AACOG LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER AND EDUCATION FAIR
The Academy will be hosting a peace officer career and education fair at our offices at
8700 Tesoro Drive, in San Antonio on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 (9:00a – 11:30a).
Agency recruiters looking for eligible applicants can contact BPOC Academy Supervisor
Mike Davis at 210-362-5272 or [email protected] to reserve their spot. There is no
charge for agencies or attendees. This is a free community service provided by the
Academy.
HAVE YOU HEARD THE RUMOR?
It has been brought to our attention at AACOG there is a rumor we were going to close
the doors of the Academy on January 1, 2013. We would like to squash this rumor
immediately.
Like most every other government entity in the State, the AACOG Law Enforcement
Academy has endured budget cuts. We are adjusting accordingly. Funding was cut for
all regional academies across the state in the 2011 legislative session due to an
oversight. That issue is currently being addressed in Austin.
Meanwhile, the AACOG Law Enforcement Academy is still here and continuing to
provide the best licensing and in-service training we can.
Best Regards,
Richard D. Bryan
Academy Coordinator
