Advanced Training Bureau

The Advanced Training Bureau is responsible for providing the Certification by Waiver of Previous Training (CBW) course to previously New Mexico certified officers whose certification has lapsed wishing to reactivate their certification and officers certified in another state who are seeking New Mexico certification.

In addition, the Bureau is responsible for providing Advanced In-Service training to assist officers with professional development, and with meeting mandated biennial in-service training requirements. This web page provides information about both. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call the contacts listed below or send an e-mail.

How do I apply for a Certification by Waiver of Previous Training (CBW) class?

The Application process for the Certification by Waiver of Previous Training (CBW) course is a two part process.  

Applicants must first submit a completed Verification of Eligibility - PART I packet for review and approval.  Once eligibility has been determined the applicant must then complete and submit the Application Packet - PART II.  Upon review and approval of the PART II packet the applicant must meet the physical fitness requirements (if applicable) as explained below.

Please note:  Applicants may attend an optional pre-assessment which is offered the first Tuesday of each month at 8:00 a.m. at the Academy to determine their 1.5 mile and 300 meter times.  Pre-assessment dates are posted on the Basic Training Bureau calendar.
 
Important Information Regarding Class Sizes and Application Requirements
  • Each Certification by Waiver of Previous Training (CBW) Class size is limited to 25 students. 
  • The Advanced Training Bureau will process applications on a first come first served basis. The applications will be placed on the eligible to attend list based upon the date a complete application is received. Applications received that are not complete will be returned and will not be considered for eligibility until submitted as a complete package. An application package will not be considered complete until Certification by Waiver of Previous Training Verification of Eligibility - PART I forms and documents have been submitted, eligibility has been established and Certification by Waiver of Previous Training Application Packet - PART II forms are correctly completed and all required supporting documents are submitted.  Staff will review faxed or e-mailed copies, but must be in receipt of original and/or notarized copies to consider an application package to be complete.
  • If the Bureau receives more than 25 complete application packages, the excess applicants will be placed on a waiting list, again based upon the date of receipt of a complete application. 
  • All applicants must attend the mandatory assessment for the BPOT Academy class they have applied for unless they have  submitted proof of meeting the exemption as a retired law enforcement officer. No applicant will be allowed to assess without a complete physical (LEA-3) including the signed clearance from a licensed physician.
  • Applicants will be screened on the day of the mandatory assessment. Applicants with blood pressures greater than 160/100 will not be allowed to participate in the mandatory assessment.
  • Applicants who do not pass the mandatory assessment may reapply for the next available CBW class. 
  • Applicants with complete application packages who pass the mandatory assessment or are retired and exempt from the mandatory assessment will be accepted into the CBW class. 
  • Should any of first 25 applicants with complete applications fail the mandatory assessment they will be dropped from the class and may apply for the next CBW class. Academy staff will then fill any vacancies from the waiting list with the first available applicant who submitted a complete application package and passed the mandatory assessment.

What are the Certification by Waiver of Previous Training (CBW) fitness requirements?

CBW Applicants who are not verified Law Enforcement retirees must complete, approximately two weeks prior to the start of the CBW class the 1.5 mile and 300 meter runs at or better than the 50th percentile of the Cooper Standard which is adjusted for gender, age, and altitude.  In addition, during the class the attendee must complete the Agility I and Agility II courses within the required times.  The requirements may be downloaded here: CBW Entrance Fitness Requirements

CBW applicants not meeting the 50th percentile fitness standard for the 1.5 mile and 300 meter runs will not be allowed to attend and will be enrolled in the next CBW class. A COMPLETE Part II Application Package MUST have been received by and reviewed by the Advanced Training Bureau by 8:00 a.m. on the day before the mandatory assessment. Applicants WILL NOT be allowed to assess if the Part II Application has not been received by Bureau staff, reviewed and determined to be COMPLETE by the deadline.   The only exception shall be FBI fingerprint clearances required as an attachment to the LEA-5.

Verified retirees are exempt from meeting the fitness standard to attend the CBW class, however the requirements for receipt and review of a COMPLETE application package by the deadline still apply.

What Advanced Training Classes are being offered by the Advanced Training Bureau?

The Advanced Training Bureau of the New Mexico Department of Public Safety is pleased to present our schedule for 2009-2010.  We are still developing additional training opportunities, including advanced and specialized contractor provided courses.  Additions and other changes come frequently, so please check the site often.  Additionally, if you cannot find a class you are looking for, please contact us by e-mail or phone and we will attempt to add it to our schedule as soon as possible.

We are also piloting a program to waive the late registration fee this year.  However, we are adding a “Registration Deadline” date.  This will allow us to determine the “go/no-go” for a course and send out confirmation/cancellation notices in a timely manner, one or two weeks prior to the start of the course depending on the course.  We require 12 students for most classes to be a “go,” so we would appreciate your assistance in filling these classes to ensure we can provide training in the outlying regional areas.
