All applicants to the Eastfield College Criminal Justice Training Center BPO Program must have their criminal history checked. No one may be enrolled without first being qualified through DPS and TCOLE. If you have any action of a court nature above a class C misdemeanor pending, you should delay your application until that situation has been settled with the court.

1. We will email the appropriate forms to have your fingerprints taken for your criminal background check as required by TCOLE. You cannot just go to your local police department to have this done – per TCOLE rules you must follow the instructions and use Morpho fingerprinting. The cost is $39.75 and it takes approximately 10-14 days from the day you have your fingerprints taken until we receive the notification from TCOLE. Please be patient, we will contact you as soon as we have these results. DO NOT CALL TCOLE to ask about your fingerprint results while waiting to hear back from the academy staff. We will notify you when you are ready to move to the next step.

Once you are qualified by TCOLE, indicating no problems with your criminal background check, you will be notified and the instructions and forms for your Medical Examination (L2) and Psychological Examination (L3) will be sent to you by email. You can expect to pay approximately $150.00 to $175 for each of these two examinations.

At the same time you are sent your L2 and L3 forms you will also be sent a TCOLE required Personal History Statement. Read the instructions, complete and return with the L2 and L3 forms.

Once you return the L2 and L3 forms with all the appropriate signatures and we have received your completed Personal History Statement you will be allowed to register for the Basic Peace Officer Program of your choice – space permitting.

Financial Aid for the Police Academy Texas Public Education Grants (TPEGs), for tuition only, are available to individuals to take career or occupation-related courses. Eligibility is based on financial need.

A TPEG can be applied to career or occupational courses such as computer training, office and health occupations training, business courses, language skill courses, etc. For more information on courses for which grant money can be applied, contact the Financial Aid Office at the college of your choice.

Eligibility is determined by the Financial Aid Office after a review of your grant application and requires about three - six weeks to process. Funds are limited and distributed on a first come, first serve basis. TPEG will not pay for phases one or two, these funds can only be used to pay for tuition for phases 3, 4, and/or 5.

For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

1. File your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at https://fafsa.ed.gov/ 2. Fill out and submit the TPEG Application for Continuing Education as soon as

possible, at https://www.dcccd.edu/PC/FA/Documents/Forms16-17/2016­2017%20TPEG%20CE%20FORM.pdf preferably at least six to eight weeks before the

beginning of the course or when you complete your CJTC enrollment packet. 3. You will receive an email notification stating the status of your financial aid application
